Abstract: | Transportation is one the pillars of today's society. Substantial percentage of people
transported all over the world every day is served by public transportation. One kind of
public transportation service allowing people to travel from somewhere to somewhere else
is taxi service. Despite the fact that systems for planning shared rides using single taxi
vehicle do exist, in many countries (including Czech republic) it's still rather unfavourable
to use taxis for transportation, all the more so with some of these systems having insucient
potential to be actually helpful.
I believe, that there is enough space for another system of such a kind based exclusively on
smartphones which are so widely spread these days. A system allowing its users to quickly
and easily plan a shared ride using single taxi vehicle. It would not only help its users to
save their money, but it would also make the whole taxi transportation more ecient. Such
a system - its architecture, implementation and overall workow - is the topic of this work.
