Flow and system requirements

This week we divided our flow into 4 steps:

1. Add a destination and time you want to arrive – the user enters the app the desired destination and time arrival to start the process.

system requirements:

• a short form with a text area and time area and button for search

• GPS sensor that updates the information about the location of the driver and user.

2. Show possible drivers - according to the chosen location and time, the user gets a list of drivers and chose the driver according to closeness and other parameters.

system requirements:

• GPS sensor that updates the information about the location of the driver and user.

• Database with the driver's details

• An algorithm that chose the shorter path according to the traffic.

• API to get online profiles details

• Manifest – permission to contact list

• An algorithm that ranks the drivers according to the closeness.

3. Ride duration and automatic SMS with driver information to loved one- after choosing the driver, the user get the ETA and can send SMS with all the driver and driving details to his friends and family.

system requirements:

• SMS notification

• Eta algorithm or get it from Waze API

• Manifest – permission to contact list

4. Arrive at destination and rating- the user arrived at the destination and rank the driver.

system requirements:

• Rank form

After that, Eran explained to us how the internet works behind the sense by a demonstration which involved some of us, as you can see below:

At the end of the class Eran did a short brief of technologies which can help us for the developing part of the project. By that I mean, that he showed us relevant API that we can use them instead of developing them.

For example, Text to speech, Personality analysis and more.
