Project Area of Specialization Information & Communication TechnologyProject SummarySince inappropriate planning of the cities, there has been a big problem of traffic in most cities of Pakistan. People spend much of their time in traffic every day. In Addition to this many vehicles in traf ic makes rapid oil consumption, there has been an uprising problem of air pollution. Oil supplies are very limited all over the world and oil prices are extremely expensive in our country. Therefore, most of the people have to take buses and since the number of public transportation vehicles are not suf icient, they travel under uncomfortable conditions.
Instant Car Pool Car Sharing Android Application” is a Mobile app based on Flutter project with two different interfaces for Drivers and Passengers.
Through the Post ride activity Driver can post, if Person is going to Karachi or another city from Nawabshah and have 2 or 3 seats are available and one seat is book, so the passengers are allow to book seats that left.
The key feature of our project is to connect driver with passenger and passenger with driver and those who cannot travel through a local transport and cannot afford a full payment of car booking than the person can book a shareable seats by minor payment.
Ridesharing can have a significant impact on the environment. When people share ride, they choose to drive less and use shared transportation instead. This means less gasoline is burned, which reduces CO2 emissions.
The primary challenge for carpooling is congestion. When multiple cars are traveling together, they create a traffic jam that can lead to lengthy delays. Additionally, carpoolers tend to be more cautious than drivers in solo vehicles and may drive slower or stop at red lights.
Carpooling is a great way to save money. If you carpool with someone, you can share the cost of gasoline and other expenses. This makes carpooling a cheaper option than driving alone.
1 Reducing overall traffic congestion on the roads
2 Reduce peak hour congestion
3 Reducing single occupancy car trips by implementing car pooling system.
4 Promoting alternative modes of transport.
5 Improve parking in areas that are experiencing parking congestion
6 Save money by sharing the cost of driving one car.
7 Reduce number of cars in the road.
8 Reduce pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.
9 Reduces driving-related stress for participants
10 Provide social connections in the society.

Registration
The registration process should be fast and easy. No need to request full information from new users right from the start. Users can provide additional details later when updating their profiles.
Sign-in
Your app can have its own sign-in form or offer users to sign in using social accounts or email.
To integrate maps, developers connect the Google Maps API for Android apps and MapKit for iOS apps
User profiles
After registering, users should be asked to provide further information about themselves (upload a profile photo, fill in personal details).
In-app payments
Integrate a payment gateway into your application to accept cashless payments from customers. You can choose among Stripe, PayPal, and Braintree. Stripe offers its own Android libraries and a card input widget. For iOS, you can use the Stripe SDK.
Maps
To integrate maps, developers connect the Google Maps API for Android apps and MapKit for iOS apps.
GPS tracking
To determine the current location of a vehicle, developers use GPS. Geolocation for an Android app can be implemented with the help of Google’s Location APIs. iOS developers rely on CoreLocation.
Smart lock
A smart lock feature enables keyless locking/unlocking of a vehicle via an app. Once the in-car system confirms that the user has a reservation, it will unlock the door. After the trip ends and the user gets out of the car, the doors lock again.
Carsharing keyless technology can be implemented through a third-party service, if you integrate your carsharing mobile app with it, as mobile app is the facilitator of locking and unlocking the vehicle. If you want more security, however, you can develo your own custom keyless access for your fleet.
Bookings
A user can request a car right away or make a reservation for a later date using the booking feature.
Ride stats
This feature allows users to see the duration of their ride and track their booking history.
Push notifications
In order to notify users about the status of their reservations or about cars available near them, you’ll need to connect some APIs for sending push notifications. For iOS devices, this feature is provided through the Apple Push Notification Service. Android apps can rely on Google Cloud Messaging.
Support
In case a user encounters difficulties during the trip or the vehicle is damaged – whether or not it was the user’s fault – they need to contact the carsharing operator for instructions. Built-in support will significantly improve the quality of your service. You can enable live chat, a ?hatbot, or direct calls in your app.
