Abstract |
Transportation is an issue of interest in huge urban communities of many evolving nations today. Because of the enormous population in these urban areas, there is steady traffic clog and contamination. Subsequently taxi administrations are normal. Given the wide spread appropriation of advanced mobile phones far and wide, we propose an Android-based carpooling application for taxi service for Pakistan. By carpooling we mean sharing of taxi service by multiple users going to the same location with shared rent making it economically efficient. The proposed added feature of the mobile application is that besides going to the same drop off point or moving from the nearby location, other areas of common interests including similar employment status, hobbies etc would play a key role in selecting the fellow passenger in the taxi. This would provide a socialization platform for sharing knowledge and future collaborations with mutual agreement. In future, an algorithm with this feature would be designed and results of empirical study would be shared. |
