The Carpooling System

With the enormous increase in number of vehicles on road, people around the country especially in metro cities have started facing problem now due to increase in traffic which added an hour or so to their daily travelling time. Out of few, one of the methods to reduce this misery of travelers is to make them share cars. We intent to make an ANDROID application, carpooling, which is an application of car-sharing (also called lift-sharing or ride-sharing) in which drivers (alone-riders) who are traveling to work alone can ask for fellow passengers through our application. For those who use public-transport system to go to work daily can use this application to find drivers who are travelling to the same destination and willing to share ride. This will not only get rid of the extra journey time of passengers but will also help environment by reducing pollution and traffic on roads. This social networking application is also called fare-sharing and time sharing as you are you are sharing both with fellow travelers. This paper will also cover security issues with woman travelers in mind. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.16044
