Challenges
Cost Calculation by Distance
Whenever a rider selects a pick-up and drop-off location, the system automatically makes & sends fare calculation to the user. But, in many cases, one destination may have different routes. To calculate for fare estimation based on the selected destination route and send it to a rider is challenging. To solve this challenge, our developers used the Location Manager for calculating the fair distance formula.
Finding Nearest Taxi Driver
An app allows clients to select the driver as per their preference. To deliver a better experience whenever a customer enters their location, their request is allocated to the nearby drivers based on their site. To fetch nearby drivers by tracking the rider's entered location was challenging for our team. A team of Hyperlink InfoSystem has handled this scenario by integrating custom API.
To Show Navigation Path Between Pick-Up And Drop-Off
Whenever the driver is assigned a pick-up and drop-off location, a driver needs to get the entire path from pick-up to drop-off. And to make it successful is a little bit tough. But our development team handled this scenario by using directionUsingGoogle() method of a map manager class to draw the polyline on the whole route from pick-up to drop-off.
