Trip Planner with Booking -- 2

**Project Overview:** A mobile application aimed at providing users with a convenient and efficient means of booking various types of transportation services, including bike taxis, car taxis, and auto-rickshaws. The application will incorporate features similar to those found in popular ride-sharing platforms like Indrive, with a focus on enabling users to negotiate ride prices. **Key Features:** 1. **User Application:** - User Registration/Login: Users can create accounts or log in using existing credentials. - Ride Booking: Users can search for available taxis based on their location and book rides. - Price Negotiation: Users can negotiate ride prices with drivers before confirming bookings. - Multiple Vehicle Options: Users can choose between bike taxis, car taxis, and auto-rickshaws. - Payment Integration: Integration with a secure payment gateway for seamless transactions. - Ride Tracking: Real-time tracking of booked rides for both users and drivers. - Rating and Review System: Users can rate drivers and provide feedback on their experience. 2. **Driver Application:** - Driver Registration/Login: Drivers can register their vehicles and create accounts. - Ride Acceptance: Drivers can accept or reject ride requests based on availability. - Price Negotiation: Drivers can negotiate ride prices with users before confirming bookings. - Earnings Tracking: Drivers can track their earnings and view ride history. - Navigation Integration: Integration with navigation systems for efficient route planning. - Rating System: Drivers can be rated by users based on their service quality. 3. **Admin Portal (Website):** - Dashboard: An overview of system activities, including bookings, payments, and user/driver management. - User and Driver Management: Admins can manage user and driver accounts, including verification processes. - Payment Management: Admins can manage payment transactions and resolve disputes if any. - Database Management: Manage the database to ensure data integrity and security. **Technology Stack:** - Programming Languages: Java (for Android), Swift (for iOS), HTML/CSS, JavaScript (for Admin Portal) - Frameworks/Libraries: Android Studio, Xcode, React for Admin Portal - Database: MySQL/MongoDB - Payment Gateway Integration: Razorpay, PayPal, or equivalent - Maps and Location Services: Google Maps API, MapKit **Project Timeline:** - Prototype Development: 4 weeks - Testing and Refinement: 2 weeks - Final Implementation: 4 weeks **Budget Allocation:** - Total Budget: INR 25,000 - 30,000 - Payment Structure: Half payment upon completion of the project prototype, remaining upon meeting all project requirements. **Project Deliverables:** 1. User Application (Android and iOS) 2. Driver Application (Android and iOS) 3. Admin Portal (Web Application) 4. Documentation (User manuals, Technical documentation) 5. Source Code and Intellectual Property Rights The perfect candidate will have a proven track record in creating similar applications and can show examples of their work with custom booking systems or similar platforms. Timeliness, communication, and attention to detail are crucial components of this project.
