PROPOSAL STATEMENT-ONLINE VEHICLE POOLING SYSTEM

Business Requirement-
Need to Minimize the use of vehicles in the city, to reduce Pollution and Traffic
and to save resources. For this Design a Application where user can avail vehicle
pooling system. This application must be design to give a critical support on
holidays or on unplanned shutdown.

INTRODUCTION-
With the increase of environmental concerns and the congestion of roads,
carpooling has gained a lot of popularity when it comes to environment-friendly
and cheap ways of travelling. Carpooling is when two or more persons share a ride
in one of their personal cars. Carpooling reduces pollution since we have less cars
on the road. It’s also economic since the travel expenses are shared among the
riders. Travelling alone may be stressful, so having other persons with you on a trip
reduces the stress and is also the occasion to socialize and make the trip funnier.
Carpooling has become a practical, cheap and stress-free way to move around.
This project presents the requirements, Structural design and implementation for
3
carpooling system. The added features, compared to available applications, are
different kinds of trips, a check-in system. The two kinds of trips are single trips,
which are trip between two cities, and frequent trips which are the ones that
commuters do every day. The check-in system enables users to check in meetings
points and notify all users about that. The application is designed to be scalable,
extensible, highly available and with a good performance.
The purpose of this project is to develop an application that tries to overcome the
disadvantages of the other available applications. The application is to be generic,
which means that it may work for any carpooler in any country in the world.

OBJECTIVE-
The main objective of the work presented through this Assignment is to develop
an enterprise-class server that represents the backbone of the application and
ensure its compatibility with multiple platforms including web, Android and iOS.
Moreover, an example of a client Android application is developed for the users to
access the services of the application from handheld devices and serve as a
companion during travelling.

PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT-

• The online vehicle pooling system connects car owners to people in their
vicinity who needs a vehicle.

• A platform as a link between supply and demand is provided creating a

new mobility service.
4
• The ride fare is fixed by the vehicle owner within the range of kilometres
travelled and will even take care of all administrative issues.
are feasible and also some improvements that should be considered.
Single trips and frequent should be implemented in order to have an
application that answers the need of the market.
Socially enabled: Login using Facebook, Google Plus … and share content
to social media.
Pay through the app: The payments for trips goes through the application.
Map picker: for picking the meeting points.

REQUIREMENTS-

User and system requirement document –

Project description -The following section contains the user and system
requirements for the carpooling application. The application is a meeting
point for both drivers and passengers. Users can share and find rides. The
application will be divided into two main parts. The first one is for intercity
trips where users can post their trips and register for trips created by
other users. In addition to that, a check in system is available to notify the
users when the driver or the passenger reaches the meeting point. The
other part is for frequent trips. Frequent trips are trips that occur on a
weekly basis. A person who commutes to work, for example, may be
interested in creating a frequent trip to find other passengers to ride with.
Given the fact that the application should be socially enabled, the user
should be prompted to share his trips on social media. The access of the
application is only granted to authorized users.
a) Users –
The users of the application are travellers and commuters who
want to go from one place to another or users that are driving a
5
 trip and want to find passengers. Users can act as both passengers
and drivers while using an application. The users use their social
media accounts in order to log in the application.
Any user of the application can act as:
 A driver is any person that owns a car and wants to go from one place
to another and publishes his trip on the application in order to find
passengers to share the ride with.
 A passenger is any person that doesn’t own a car and wants to join a
driver in a trip he posted and agrees to all the conditions specified (price).
b) System-
The application will highly depend on the geo-localization and
mapping system of Google. This will be used for showing maps.
Also, GPS data will be processed using Google Maps. Third-party
authentication systems are also being used for logging users. In
this case, Facebook or other social media Authentication is used
to verify the identity of users.

Functional requirements-

Login- Since all the operations that can be done using the application
requires both the driver and passenger to be logged in, they can use
the login forms of either Facebook or other social media platforms.
For this matter, the user is prompted to connect the app to his
account and then proceed for sign in/up.
Modify profile information- All users can modify their profile
information. The profile information contain: name, phone number,
email, type of car if any. The user can easily edit these information in
order to be contacted and recognized.
Social media sharing -In order to attract more users to the
application and help users find passengers, users should be able to
share their activity on the application on social media. A suggestion
for sharing trips’ creation, trips’ registration or check in should pop-
up whenever those previous actions are performed. The sharing
should be authorized by the users and not done automatically by the

6
application in order not to spam the users’ account and gain the
users’ confidence.
Rate driver/passenger- Both the driver and passenger can rate each
other in other to gain reputation. The importance of the rating is to
encourage users to be helpful and nice during the trip so that they
gain popularity in the application. It is also a way to ensure users of
who can be trusted or not.
Create new regular trip -The driver can create a new trip to be
displayed when passengers search for trips. The application will
prompt the driver or information of the regular trip which consists of
destination, origin, meeting point ( which can be pointed in a map),
departure time/date , estimated arrival time .After providing this
information, the user publishes it in order to find passengers. Upon
the creation of the trip, a user can share the trip he just created in
social media to find passengers to drive with.
Search for regular trips and reservation -When a passenger needs to
find a driver for a destination, he can use a search form which asks
for destination, origin, departure date/time. He can also specify the
travelling preferences. When he finds a suitable trip, he can reserve
a spot easily in by taping a button which will send a notification to
the driver telling him that a passenger has reserved.
Check-in trip- Whenever the driver or passenger arrive to the
meeting point at the time agreed upon, he can check-in the meeting
point in order to notify the other user and to show his punctuality.
The application will use the devices GPS in order to make sure that
the users are in the meeting point.
Frequent trips- Add frequent trip The driver can create a frequent
trip where they show the origin and destination, departure and
return times in addition to the frequency (daily and weekly).
Search frequent trips- A passenger can search for a frequent trips
that he can join. The passenger should specify the departing
neighbourhood, destination, departure times and frequency. The
application will try to match it with the best trip. If the passenger is
satisfied, he can register to the frequent and will be given the
contact of the other members.
7
 Non-functional requirements

Performance -The application has to offer a very quick response time

as the meeting between the driver and passengers is done through
notifications. In other words, the server should be able to treat
notifications and propagate them instantly. The application should
handle 1000 users sending queries at the same time.
Scalability -The application should respond properly to a high
increase of users. It should be able to handle from 10 000 users to
100 000 users. And also from 100 000 to one millions users.
Extensibility -The application should by extensible in order to
support multiple platforms including iOS, Windows Phone and Web.
Availability -Since a lot of information about the trips and check in
are available in the application, it has to be highly available and
guarantees a good server up-time. The server should allow only 1
hour down time per year which is 99.99% up-time.
Privacy and Security -The application should ensure the privacy of
the users including the trips they take part in, their social media
accounts and their accounts. The login system should also be robust
where only authorized users can post and edit their own
information.
Maintainability -Since the application may be developed in the
future by adding other features, it should be easily maintainable.

ADVANTAGES-

It helps you save-

Helps you save money, time, and the environment. Since you don’t have to use
8
your vehicle all the time, you can cut down on gasoline, maintenance, and toll and
parking expenses. Additionally, there will be less vehicles on the road, and this
lessens air pollution caused by carbon emissions.
It provides more convenience-
If you’re not the designated driver, you can take advantage of the ride and use the
free time to prepare for a presentation, plan your day, or eat breakfast on the go.
It is a way to socialize-
Since you’ll be sharing a ride, you can make new acquaintances and get to know
other people better. This is especially helpful if you travel with your workmates or
neighbours.

Disadvantages
You won’t have much freedom or flexibility with your schedule and activities-
Because there are several people traveling together, you usually have to leave at
the same time. So if you want to do errands, go out for lunch, or have other plans
after work, it will be more difficult to do these since you have a whole bunch of
people to consider. Aside from that, if one person is running late, everyone’s
schedule will be affected, so being time conscious is very important.
You won’t have much privacy
If you like to spend your travel time meditating or just being alone with your
thoughts, that will be pretty impossible when you’re in a car with a handful of
other people. Aside from that, when someone is sick, there is a high chance you
might become ill too.
The designated driver is responsible for his passengers-
In case you get into an accident, the responsibility lies most heavily on the driver.
There is also additional pressure on the driver because that person has to make
sure everyone gets to their destination on time and safely.

 CONCLUSION

This carpooling application is an application that complies to the enterprise class

application principles. It is designed to be performing, scalable, extensible, and
highly available. It also ensures the privacy of the users’ data and secures its
access. Given that it may be improved in many ways, the application is also easily
maintainable. It is still not ready to be deployed on the Play Store for the public.
The main reason is that the server should be deployed on stronger hardware with
a good Internet connection. The constraint that should have been considered is
that developing a server and an Android application demand a lot of work. This
should be considered in the time allowed for each one of these activities. Due to
this lack of time, many things can be improved in the present application. This
includes a better user interface with more attractive styles. Also, adding more
support for authentication systems can be an improvement.
