Hangzhou Technology Mobile Toilets

Hangzhou has innovative practices in technology-based mobile toilets, such as vehicle-mounted mobile toilets and 5G smart toilets.

Vehicle-mounted Mobile Toilets

To ensure the smooth running of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Para Games, the Xihu District Urban Management Bureau purchased vehicle-mounted mobile toilets, which were the first of their kind to be put into use in Hangzhou. They are significantly different from traditional single mobile public toilets or pull-arm mobile public toilets, featuring numerous 'high-tech' elements.

• Reasonable spatial layout: The vehicle contains 5 independent toilets and 1 independent toilet for special groups, meeting the needs of 6 people using the toilets simultaneously. It can provide emergency supplements at locations with high pedestrian traffic.
• Comprehensive facility setup: The vehicle is equipped with basic facilities such as air conditioners, handrails, and dedicated USB charging ports. The independent toilet for special groups also has a foldable baby care table. An electric wheelchair lift is installed on the right side of the vehicle, enabling fully electric operation and easy operation, solving the problem of wheelchair users getting on and off the vehicle.
• Efficient and convenient use: Compared with traditional mobile public toilets, the vehicle-mounted mobile toilets can be quickly dispatched and precisely positioned. They can be put into normal use with just one driver, effectively reducing labor and time costs and improving usage efficiency.

5G Smart Toilets

• High-tech appearance: They look like coffee shops or tea bars, with glass exteriors and two-story structures. There are escalators at the entrance for wheelchair users, and automatic beverage vending machines are placed at the entrance.
• Well-equipped interiors: They are clean and tidy inside, with facilities such as mirrors and sinks. Some rooms have toilets suitable for children, baby cribs, as well as hair dryers, free mobile phone charging equipment, and first-aid equipment.
• Diverse smart functions: The display screens can show the usage status of each toilet. The water pipes of the sinks and the hand sanitizer are automatically sensed. Some walls will fog up when in use to ensure privacy. In addition, the newly renovated smart toilets at Hangzhou Railway Station, as part of the upgrading and transformation, are equipped with functions such as air quality monitoring, pedestrian traffic monitoring, occupied/unoccupied lighting, and Bluetooth systems.
