Lightweight docking station for micromobility transit vehicles systems and methods

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media in communication with the one or more processors and comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• determining a status of one or more docking stations within a first predetermined distance from a destination location for a user;
• sending instructions to display, on a computing device, the status of one or more docking stations;
• receiving, from the computing device, a destination docking station selected by the user from the one or more docking stations;
• determining a docking availability at the selected destination docking station based on pairing statuses between the selected destination docking station and one or more micromobility transit vehicles docked at the selected destination docking station;
• updating the status of the selected destination docking station based at least on the docking availability;
• sending instructions to display, on the computing device, the updated status of the selected destination docking station while the user is enroute to the selected destination docking station;
• determining, while the user is enroute to the selected destination docking station and is at a second predetermined distance from the selected destination docking station, whether the selected destination docking station went from online to offline;
• and
• responsive to determining that the selected destination docking station within the second predetermined distance from a current position of the user went from online to offline, generating a notification alerting the user that the selected destination docking station is offline and suggesting an alternative docking station that is online and within the first predetermined distance from the destination location of the user.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more of processors of a computing system, are configured to cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
