Recently, Shanghai-based taxi-hailing platform Shencheng Travel developed by the Shanghai government and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation has launched elder-friendly facilities in an effort to make online taxi-hailing easier for the elderly. That is the one-click taxi-hailing smart kiosk.

The elder can easily call a taxi with just the tap of a finger on the one-click taxi-hailing smart screen. And they can enjoy the hailing service with face recognition, or by entering their phone number at the taxi-hailing smart screen to solve the question of face information input failure. Even without a smartphone, the auto-location function allows them to call a taxi with just one click. Cash and traffic cards such as traditional payment methods are also supported. 

It is worth mentioning that the one-click taxi-hailing kiosk will firstly scan the elder facial image and compare it with its advanced face recognition system. Only success verifies it will call the taxi driver. If the taxi driver takes the order, the taxi-hailing smart screen will display the license plate number, pick-up time, and position, helping the elderly to find the taxi more quickly. 

It is reported that there are two types of one-click smart screens, one is a 27-inch outdoor floor-standing kiosk, and another is an indoor wall-mounted kiosk. People can make taxi-hailing at different kiosks based on different application scenes.
