4. Problem Statement/Opportunity
Taxi is considered to be an important transportation mode yet there are very little
availability of taxis in peak hours. The undertaken project aims in development of an application
that can help in overcoming this problem, and will increase the number of taxis. The application
is basically a car pooling system that is capable of accepting the real time ride requests of the
passengers, considering the time of the service opted, the capacity of the car and the monetary
constraints.
5. Project Summary
The E-Taxi application involves development of a vehicle tracking system that will be
using GPS for vast amount of resource coordination. It is observed that finding a taxi in peak
hours can be quite difficult and therefore, the project proposes a carpooling system that will
operate as per the real time requests of the customers. Once a customer asks for a service and the

service is confirmed, the passenger can track the taxi driver using GPS. The location of the
drivers will be relayed to the control room for taking necessary actions. This would be an easier
and an hassle free alternative to the existing taxis.
