 ABSTRACT

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware
and key applications.

Android is a software platform and operating system for mobile devices based on the Linux
operating system and developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers
to write managed code in a Java-like language that utilizes Google-developed Java libraries, but
does not support programs developed in native code. The unveiling of the Android platform on 5
November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium
of 34 hardware, software and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for
mobile devices. When released in 2008, most of the Android platform will be made available
under the Apache free-software and open-source license.

Intercity carpooling has emerged as a popular and eco-friendly mode of transportation in recent
times. It allows people to share rides for long distances, reducing the number of cars on the road
and lowering overall carbon emissions. In this context, an android application for intercity
carpooling can be an excellent solution for people looking for a reliable and convenient way to
travel.

The proposed android application aims to connect travelers with drivers who are planning to
travel from one city to another.

Overall, the proposed android application for intercity carpooling has the potential to
revolutionize the way people travel long distances. It will provide a cost-effective, eco-friendly,
and convenient mode of transportation, making it an attractive option for people looking to travel
between cities.

 INTRODUCTION

1.1. Client Identification/Need Identification/Identification of relevant

Contemporary issue

Intercity carpooling android application is a platform that enables users to share their car
journeys with other passengers traveling to the same destination. The app is designed to connect
drivers who are traveling to a particular city or town with passengers who are heading in the
same direction.

 The main aim of the intercity carpooling app is to reduce the number of
cars on the road, promote sustainable transportation, and provide an
affordable transportation option for people who need to travel between
cities. The app allows drivers to share their empty car seats with other
passengers, reducing the number of cars on the road, and promoting a
more sustainable transportation system.

 The application is simple to use and user-friendly. Users can create a

profile on the app, which includes their name, profile picture, and contact
information. Drivers can specify their route and the number of empty seats
available in their car, and passengers can search for rides based on their
destination and preferred travel time.

 The app also offers a messaging feature that allows drivers and passengers
to communicate with each other before the trip. This feature helps to build
trust and provides an opportunity for users to ask questions or clarify any
doubts they may have before the trip.
  The app also allows users to rate and review each other after the trip,
helping to build a community of trustworthy and reliable users.

In conclusion, intercity carpooling android application is an innovative solution to promote

sustainable transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and provide an affordable travel option for
people traveling between cities.

1.2. Identification of Problem

Some possible issues to consider:

1) Lack of trust: One of the biggest challenges for any carpooling application is building
trust between drivers and passengers. Users may be hesitant to share a car with a stranger,
especially for long distances.

2) Limited availability: Another potential issue is that there may not be enough drivers or
passengers in certain areas, which could make it difficult to find a suitable match.

3) Payment and pricing: Determining fair prices for intercity carpooling can be tricky, and
passengers may be hesitant to use an app if they feel they are being overcharged.

4) Coordination and scheduling: Coordinating pick-up and drop-off times can be

challenging, especially when dealing with longer distances and multiple passengers.

5) Safety and liability: Carpooling can raise safety and liability concerns, especially when it
comes to accidents or injuries.

6) These are just a few potential issues to consider when developing an intercity carpooling
Android application. By addressing these and other concerns, you can create an app that
offers a safe, reliable, and affordable alternative to traditional transportation options.
1.3. Identification of Tasks

Task: Design an intercity carpooling Android application that allows users to find other
passengers traveling on the same route, book rides, and share the cost of the trip.

 Features that could be included in the app are:

1. User registration and profile management: Allow users to create an account and manage
their profile, including their personal information, contact details, and payment
information.

2. Ride booking and management: Enable users to search for available rides, book seats,
and manage their bookings, including cancellations and modifications.

3. Route management: Allow users to define their travel route, including the start and end
points, intermediate stops, and departure and arrival times.

4. Payment and cost-sharing: Provide users with a secure and convenient way to make
payments for their rides and share the cost of the trip with other passengers.

5. Driver verification: Verify the identity of drivers to ensure that they are authorized to
offer rides and that they have a valid driver's license and insurance.

6. Ratings and reviews: Allow users to rate and review drivers and passengers to help other
users make informed decisions when choosing their travel partners.

7. Chat and communication: Provide users with a chat and communication platform to
communicate with their travel partners, ask questions, and coordinate their travel plans.

8. Safety and security features: Implement safety and security features, such as emergency
contact information, trip tracking, and user verification, to ensure the safety of all users.
1.3.1 Concept Generation For I-Share Ride
i. User Profiles: Create user profiles that allow riders and drivers to sign up with their basic
details, preferences, and requirements. Riders can add details about their desired
pickup/drop-off location, preferred time of travel, number of passengers, etc. Drivers can
add details about their car type, capacity, and schedule.

ii. Ride Search: A search bar where users can enter their desired pickup and drop-off
locations along with the date and time they want to travel. The app can suggest ride
options based on user preferences and availability.

iii. Ride Sharing: An option for users to share their ride with others, allowing them to split
the cost and reduce their carbon footprint. The app can suggest ride-sharing options to
riders and drivers based on their location and travel preferences.

iv. Real-Time Tracking: Real-time tracking of rides for both riders and drivers. Riders can
track their driver’s location and ETA, and drivers can track their passengers’ location.

v. In-app Chat: In-app chat functionality allowing riders and drivers to communicate with
each other. This can help them coordinate pickup/drop-off locations, discuss travel
preferences, and ask questions.

vi. Payment Integration: The app should have a payment integration feature that allows users
to pay for their ride directly through the app. This can include integration with popular
payment gateways like PayPal, Stripe, etc.

vii. Ratings and Reviews: A rating and review system that allows riders and drivers to rate
each other after a ride. This can help build trust and accountability within the app
community.

viii. Security Measures: The app should include various security measures to ensure the safety
of its users. This can include identity verification, background checks, and other safety
protocols.
