Android & Web based Application for Carpooling System

Computer Engineering

Carpooling also commonly known as car-sharing, ride-sharing and lift sharing, is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person can travel in a car. 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. Carpooling is seen as a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to travel as sharing journeys reduces carbon emissions, traffic congestion on the roads, and the need for parking spaces. This method is very useful as it has great value and great use in normal life. Car sharing aims at solving this problem by targeting the empty seats in the private cars. In this paper, we propose an android application for carpooling where the user is able to know which car is available for carpooling. This will enable people using this application to share expense, not worry about hiring a cab and making new connections. Carpooling is application intended to better utilize the vacancy seat in the passengers cars.
