Introduction:

We have built an uber style hailing app for the specific organization to provide convenient transportation for their customers. App should allow patrons to request a pickup. As soon as a request is sent with the location, the driver of the nearest shuttle will be notified of the pickup location. Once the driver accepts the pickup, it will automatically route the driver to the patron’s location with the least distance and time option.

Highlights and Value additions:

1. Created web application to electronically create organization admins, drivers and shuttles with validations.

2. A mobile which will allow patrons to request for pick and view the Estimated time of arrival.

3. Identifying and allocating least ETA shuttle to patron with respect to driver approval.

4. Approve or Reject the request.

5. Automatically routing the driver to the patron’s location with the least distance and time option with a real time tracking of shuttle location.

6. Web application of organization admin to view their specific organization’s drop off and pick ups information.

7. Run-on both Android and IOS.
