Introduction:
Purpose:
Pool the Car is a mobile application which facilitates Car-Pooling.
Hence this mobile application will act as a medium of communication between the two parties.
Both of them have common path/roadway to travel. Based on their routes of travel, they will be able to exercise car-pooling by using the application.
Scope:
The Scope of Pool the Car includes:
There are three basic users
1.Pooler : Car driver seeking to pool people in his car.
2.Pooled : Person wishing to be pooled in someone's car.
3.Admin : The Administrator that handles the centralized database.
All users have their own profiles in PTC.
The application will provide a chat window that will facilitate the communication of two par-ties via chat messages.
The Pooler publishes over the community,
a:His time of travel.
b:His route of travel.
c:Number of persons he wishes to pool in(by default 3).
The Pooled publishes over the community,
a:His time of travel.
b:His route of travel.
c:Number of persons that would be travelling with him(by default 1).
The application automatically checks for the possible routes and filters out the optimum Pooler for the Pooled as per predefined parameters.
Every Pooler and Pooled have "Trust Points" based on which they can decide whether or not to advance in the pooling or to abort the process.
Once Pooled is confident to be pooled, he will submit a request to the pooler to pool him into the car.
Pooler depending on the "Trust Points" accepts or rejects the request of the Pooled and subse-quently the other parameters are refined.
Till the coarse of meet of Pooler and Pooled, they can communicate via "Chat Sub-Application" of the application.
