2. Sukha Payana Why car pooling has failed How Sukha Payana solves these problems What’s is in our solution

3. Why Car pooling failed? Flexibility Most of the people want to try car pooling but dependency in starting time is a barrier. Monetary Benefits Forcing price share will be a deterrent. We need an alternative approach Not all people feel comfortable taking money from friends. Security Car pooling with strangers is a big security challenge. Lot many carpooling applications and still their success rate is low

4. How can our application will help? Flexibility No fixed car/people Live information about car poolers like new generation cab services like OLA, Uber. Monetary Benefits Leave the price sharing to the carpoolers. Gamification: Introduce a point based reward system. Redeem the benefits from Bangalore police / shopping malls / other sponsors Security Carpool within your Facebook friends / Twitter followers / LinkedIn groups. Here you know the person directly or indirectly like a friend of a friend or someone from the same organization etc.. Connecting the dots..

6. The Technology Stack MEAN - mongoDB express.js node.js angular.js Ionic Framework and Apache Cordova Google Map API Facebook API Show map with location and route information. Query Facebook profiles and authentication. Provides for quick development. Ready to market time is very less. Highly scalable code. Perfect for cloud based applications. node.js and express.js GeoJSON indexing. NoSQL DB, fast reads and writes. mongoDB We can deploy the same app to all devices. iOS, Android, Windows. The angular app can also be reused to create a web application angular.js ionic and cordova

7. Facebook oAuth Gamification score.js We have currently used facebook’s authentication. This screen is shown only once, the first time you login. We could also use the facebook api to query for connections: friends of friends, from the same organization etc. We have used score.js library to implement gamification. To show the users score, unlock level and badges.

8. Google maps API and mongoDB GeoJSON indexing Google maps API returns ‘polylines’ when we request for routes. These carpooling routes (polylines) are stored in the GeoJSON standard in mongoDB. mongoDB provides GeoJSON indexing and we can query with a set of locations and find routes (polylines) which are near to all of the locations.

9. What’s next Integrate with other social media. Like twitter, G+, linkdin etc. More on sharing and messaging features. Promote our app to find sponsors. Publish the completed mobile apps for all platforms including a web app.
