Ride-Hailing Platform

Overview

A full-stack ride-hailing application connecting urban passengers with nearby drivers in real time. Handles the complete ride lifecycle — from driver discovery and live tracking to cashless payment and post-trip rating.

Key Features

• Real-time Driver Matching: Geolocation-based algorithm matches passengers with the nearest available driver, factoring in heading and estimated arrival time.
• Live GPS Tracking: Continuous driver location updates via Google Maps SDK in both passenger and driver apps throughout the trip.
• Socket.io Event Layer: Instant push of ride requests, driver acceptance, trip start/end events, and cancellations — sub-second latency, no polling.
• Dynamic Fare Estimation: Pricing calculated from distance, estimated duration, time of day, and demand surge multiplier shown before booking.
• Separate Driver App: Flutter app for drivers with trip request queue, in-app navigation, online/offline toggle, and earnings dashboard.
