Comprehensive Ride-Hailing Solution

A complete ride-hailing, taxi booking, and on-demand mobility platform built with React Native for iOS and Android. The system is designed to manage large fleets, assign rides efficiently, and provide real-time visibility to both passengers and drivers.

The app integrates interactive maps, AI-powered GPS routing, and off-route detection, offering dynamic alerts whenever a driver deviates from the optimal route. Passengers can view estimated arrival times, pricing options, driver details, and live trip progress with high accuracy.


User-Centric Experience & Front-End Architecture

The platform focuses heavily on UX and reliability, featuring:

  • Seamless onboarding with phone, email, or social authentication
  • Rich driver and passenger profile management
  • Trip scheduling and instant ride requests
  • Smart destination prompts based on user history
  • Multi-option pricing (economy, standard, premium)
  • Secure in-app payment workflows
  • Integrated communication tools (chat + call)
  • Trip receipts with mileage, time, and route stats

The front-end is built using a modular React Native architecture, optimized for performance, offline caching, and fast map rendering even on low-end devices.


Geospatial Intelligence & High-Throughput Event Streaming

To handle location-heavy operations, the system uses:

  • PostGIS-powered geofencing to detect zone entry/exit, unauthorized actions, or unusual behaviors
  • Advanced routing logic that recalculates navigation based on traffic and route changes
  • Apache Kafka real-time streams for:
    • Location updates
    • Trip status transitions
    • Driver availability
    • Notifications and alerts
    • Fraud or anomaly detection

This architecture enables the platform to support thousands of concurrent users while maintaining consistent real-time communication.


Backend Infrastructure & Operational Tools

The backend system includes:

  • Role-based dashboards for drivers, fleet managers, and support teams
  • Real-time monitoring of active rides, idle vehicles, and heatmaps of demand
  • Automated driver assignment with smart matching algorithms
  • Incident logging and safety workflows
  • Pricing engine that adapts to distance, demand, time of day, and service type

Admins can also review driver performance, route efficiency, cancellation rates, and peak-hour analytics through a dedicated React Native-powered admin panel, optimized for tablets and cross-platform use.


Innovation in Urban Mobility

By combining AI navigation, geospatial analytics, and high-frequency event streaming, the platform delivers:

  • Faster and more reliable routes
  • Improved safety through real-time monitoring
  • Reduced wait times for passengers
  • Better transparency and accountability for drivers
  • Highly scalable operations for growing fleets
