Taxi Booking App Development

Client and Business Goals: 

The startup founded by a team of Cornell University students was on a mission to build something impactful. They partnered with local taxi companies to provide easy cab access in college towns. 

Description: 

The system comprises three pieces of software, united in a single suite: a native tablet-optimized Android app for drivers, a dispatch panel, and a native iOS app available to customers. The solution was integrated with maps to build routes and pick-up points in real-time. 

Applied Technologies:

Swift, Objective-C, RESTful API on PHP, Braintree Payment Services, PubNub and APNS for real-time notifications, Google Maps, Google Places API

Web-based proofreading & editing platform

Operating Maps and GPS Positioning in Real-Time

  • Real-time client-server communication became the key feature of the entire project from the very start. It was a challenge to get identical states of rides for all sub-applications: Customer, Driver, and Dispatcher. Therefore, all communication between apps was designed to be transmitted through the backend, which stores actual ride states. The applications can send requests via HTTP to the backend only, and only the backend can notify the apps through 2 channels. PubNub (for cases when the app is opened) and APNS (when it is closed).

3 Months to Launch a Production-Ready Version

  • We started development in May 2016 and needed to have a production-ready version by early August 2016 for the start of the academic year.
