Abstract

Energy is one of the biggest crises in today's crisis driven Pakistan. "Pakistan is currently facing a gas shortage of 700mmcfd"[1]*. A solution for this problem is need of hour. Gas and petrol are major sources of energy especially in a country like Pakistan with population of over 200 millions. In this paper we have tried to come up with a solution to this problem. We have developed an application which allows a user to share its vehicle thereby reducing a substantial amount of fuel consumption as well as it allows travelers to save money by sharing the fuel cost. It also helps keep environment clean and also makes people more social. Most of the people travelling in Pakistan in their private vehicles use CNG and most of the cars include one or two persons at a time. And many people use to travel from same starting point to the same destination. Many people share this route and use their own vehicle for traveling. The room available in those cars can be utilized and vehicle can be shared with other peoples saving fuel consumption of one vehicle and also reducing environmental pollution by reducing number of vehicles on road. The project allows different people who use to travel from same starting points to same destinations on regular basis, share their vehicles by automatically prompting them via a text message or an application alert hence reducing overall CNG requirements. Apart from less CNG consumption, system also offers other advantages including money saving, environment protection and increases social circle of the people by letting them find new travel partner.
