Focused on delivering superior user experiences, the client wanted to extend their mobility offering with a Connected Vehicle Platform capability to provide seamless shuttle booking and on-demand rider services for employees and guests. electric vehicles.
Business Challenges
The client faced two core challenges that their existing systems, including earlier modules of the Connected Vehicle Platform, could not fully resolve:
- Customers could not reliably book or track shuttles in real time, producing confusion and missed pickups.
- Drivers lacked an automated route planning and dynamic shuttle allocation system, making it hard to optimize pickups, handle re-routing, or change priorities on the fly.
Their legacy solution lacked an integrated mobile workflow and the dynamic routing intelligence required for a modern on-demand shuttle experience.
Solution
We delivered an Android-centric Connected Vehicle Platform solution composed of:
- A web admin app and two mobile/tablet apps (customer app and driver tablet app).
- Customer UX: QR-based login for quick boarding, ride booking, live tracking, saved favorite places, and feedback (ratings & comments).
- Driver UX: Tablet app for pick/track/drop workflows using a “first in, first serve” baseline, with the ability to change pickup priority and view rider comments. Drivers log in with mobile + password.
- Routing & mapping: Deep integration with Google Maps (audio/video navigation) and a route algorithm that simplifies pickup/drop sequencing and enables dynamic shuttle allocation.
- Platform glue: The work functions as a Connected Vehicle Platform module, tying telematics and mobile workflows together so dispatch, drivers, and riders share a single, real-time view of shuttle operations.
