Project Summary

This application is a courier service providing system which will allow the cutomers to make orders for transporting their goods in a door to door service manner. We will be applying AI concepts and algorithms through Google Maps API and Directions API to achieve this. The algorithm will take into account the vehicle type of the rider and also real time traffic to choose the best route. Incremental project will include wallet option after the release of Beta version.

Project Objectives

A full fledge android application comprising of two interfaces

   1. Customer (sender, receiver)

   2. Transporter ( Bikes, Rickshaws) providing door to door delivery with minimizing the commute cost.

B. Tracking for package traceability

C. Route optimization for rider ensuring low commute cost and time efficiency

Project Implementation Method

We will be using Android Studio, Firebase and Google Map APIs to make two applications, one for the customer and one for the rider.
