 Idea/Approach Details
Idea/Solution/Prototype
Peer to Peer Ridesharing is a proposed ride sharing project that aims
to connect commuters and reduce traffic congestion in urban areas.
The project will be a web-based platform that allows users to find
others who are traveling in the same direction and share a ride with
them.Currently, most carpooling systems are in the control of third

drivers as well as of riders and this can lead to major privacy issues. If
ride-sharing and car hire are moved to blockchain then we can build a
much more secure and reliable carpooling system.

where traditional ride-sharing services are not available
or are too expensive.

 Idea/Approach Details
1. A user having a ethereum account creates his/her profile and connects with relative account user as well.
2. One can request for any role driver or passenger.

● The implementation uses a built-in reputation system. In order to assure the fairness of the ride,
everything regarding the ride will be permanently written into the ledger, ensuring access to all in
the peer-to-peer network. With each account distinctly mapped, it prevents identity theft and
when a complaint is lodged, the authorities can verify it by checking the ledger.

● Use of Smart Contract: Consider a Blockchain-based service that provides smart contract
templates for drivers and passengers. The two parties will choose a basic smart contract
template initially (transportation of people; rewarding the driver in faucet currency or
cryptocurrency; payment in cash) The parties will then agree on the transaction's specifics (For
instance, the precise fee to be paid; the choice to carry more people or not;) Individuals will no
longer require a third party to complete the transaction since the Smart Contract template will
ensure that either both sides of the transaction are fulfilled, or none at all.
