Abstract - A lot of problems comes associated with rapid
increase in population one such major problem is traffic
congestion and other problems caused due to it. It has become
a major problem in many metropolitan areas. During peak
hour this congestion is something everyone has to experience
due to the way the current society operates. There are many
solutions to the problem but one effective solution is
carpooling. Carpooling is a system in which car owners will
share there privately owned vehicle to othertravelertraveling
on the same route. This will decrease the empty seats which
would result in lesser cars on road. The current carpooling
system is not much deviated from cab system which is also not
so efficient. This service will greatly benefit people who travel
on same routes on daily basis such as working people,
students. It will also help the owner with affordability of fuel
cutting the cost.

1.INTRODUCTION
In a population dense country such as India,connectivityisa
major factor for growth of a nation. Due to the nation having
large population it arises lots of problems one such
concerning issue is traffic. The amount of privately owned
vehicle have skyrocketed and gives rise to problems such as
traffic congestion, air pollution, sound pollution, fuel
inefficiency and many more.
There are solutions to overcome these problems one such
solution is using public transport but a better more efficient
way is carpooling.
Carpooling is sharing of privately owned vehicle with one or
more people travelling on the same route on occasional or
daily basis. This will not only eliminate the problemoftraffic
congestion but also greatly benefit both the traveler as well
as car owner. The distribution of fuel cost among all the
traveler will benefit the car owner greatly.
A website will act as a communication link between traveler
searching for ride and car owners searching for traveler[3].
The car owner will post the origin of the journey andtheend
destination and traveler can communicate accordingly.
1.1 Advantages of using Carpooling
 Cost efficient: Due to splitting the cost of the travel
along with other user it makes it cost effective.
 Environment Friendly: As more number of people
will travel in same car on average it will reduce the
number of vehicle on road hence decreasing the
carbon emissions.
 Traffic : Lesser cars will run on road making the
problem of traffic congestion less hectic.
 Socializing: Carpooling provides an opportunity to
meet new people, socialize and make new friends
which will open new opportunities.
 Improve productivity: Commuters can use their
travel timein productive work suchas readingbook
or working.
1.2 Drawbacks of current system
 .Safety is a major concern when it comes to
carpooling. Due to digital mode of registration it
may lead to fake profiles being created[4].
 Carpooling may lead to conflicts between
passengers over issues that they don’t agree on
making it an unpleasant experience for other
passengers.
 Time flexibility is an issue as commuters not
reaching on time on required destination may
lead to loss of time for potentially all the traveler
2. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT
 Seat availability feature to ensure the traveler is
informed about the number of preoccupied space.
 Estimate the cost of travel before the journey starts
 Add a featureof live location thatcan besharedwith
family/friends in case of emergency or unwanted
situations.
 Allowing passengers to provide feedback of the
experience and write review about the same on
either car owner or passenger.

3. DETAILS RELATED TO PROPOSED SYSTEM
Fig-1:ER diagram of system
The different modules of carpooling are:
1) User registration and authentication:
This is the most critical module of carpooling. This will have
two types of user which are car owner and traveler. The car
owner is the one that provides the vehicle whereas the
traveler is the one who want to use the service for the
specified route.
While the process of registration, authentication is very
important to provide a safe as well as secure environment
for the users. This can be ensured by asking the user to
provide document that ensure the uniqueidentitywhichcan
be vehicle documents, car registration and other details in
case of car owner and Aadhar card or pan card in case of
traveler.
2) Route creation and management:
The car owner will decide and post the origin and the end
destination of the journey this data will then be storedinthe
database and shown to traveler. The traveler can then
choose and provide the pickup and drop off spot to car
owner considering they are on the same route and notmuch
deviated.
Different algorithms can be used to match the traveler and
car owner such as k-nearest neighbors (knn) which can find
similarity in car owner provided path and traveler path to
group them together.
After the car owner checks the pickupanddropoffspotscan
confirm the ride and proceed with the journey
3) Communication:
The car owner and traveller should have a way to
communicate with each other. A messaging chat can be
integrated that allows both parties to communicate
effectively and share required information. Other than chat
they can be provided with contact information for the same.
4) Payment and reimbursement:
After the journey is completed the traveller will pay for the
amount for the distance travelled which will be pre-
estimated. Traveller can pay using any mode of transaction
credit or debit or online or cash. For online mode of
transaction the traveller will be redirected to payment
portal[3].
5) Rating and feedback:
After the completion of the journey the traveller as well as
the car owner both can post rating and feedback based on
the experience. This can then be taken into consideration by
future traveller and car owner for their journeys.
4. USER INTERFACE
 Login/Register
If the user already has an account, they can login or else
opt for registration to create a account.

 Dashboard
There are 2 dashboard user and car owner which will
display their account information.
 Post ride
The car owner can provide required information for the
ride.
 Apply ride
The traveler can the apply for the ride in available rides
page. This page also shows other relevant information
about the ride such as the estimated fare, available seats
etc.
 Ride status
This will show us the current status of the ride which is
accepted. Once completed the user will click complete to
officially end the trip.
5. FUTURE SCOPE
As part of future scope, many additional features can be
added such as GPS tracking system for real time updating of
information, SOS feature that would alert required
authorities in case of emergency[3].
Advanced matching algorithms paired with selfdrivingcars
could lead to convenient and efficient way to car pool. Self
driving car could pickup multiple people on shared path,
reducing the need of personal vehicles.
Blockchain technology could be used to develop a
carpooling platform as it will lead to secure and
decentralized network, where users could share there data
and make payments without the need of any third party
involvement.
Overall carpooling is a sustainable mode of transport which
should be promoted and usedmorewidelybythepopulation
that also benefits the individuals involved as well as
environment.
6. CONCLUSION
Carpooling is a very effective solution to some of the major
problem faced by commuters as well as private vehicle
owners, with the help of carpooling the car owner can cut
down their cost of fuel for travelling the same distance by
sharing vehicle with other commuters. This will also help
with traffic congestion which will increasethefuel efficiency
in general as fuel is a depleting resource in nature. It does
not only benefit the user but also benefit the concerning
environmental issue such as global warming, carbon
emission, sound pollution. This can make a significant
change in the well being of society.
By sharing rides, users can make new friends meet new
people and develop connections which can change into
meaningful opportunities.
However, carpooling can also come with its own set of
problems such as safety and security of user, privacy,
management of payments, conflicts in interests of other
commuters and many more.
