Tripaddy is a ride-hailing platform designed to connect riders with nearby drivers in real-time. I developed the full backend system on Laravel, implementing WebSocket-powered location tracking, dynamic driver/rider matching algorithms, and integrated payment processing via Paystack.
The Google Maps API integration provides real-time GPS tracking for both drivers and riders, with live ETA calculations, route display, and fare estimation. The WebSocket layer ensures instant notifications for ride requests, driver acceptance, and trip status updates.
Redis handles session management and real-time location caching, ensuring low-latency performance even under concurrent user loads. The fare calculation engine factors in distance, time, and surge pricing dynamically.
Real-time location sharing via Google Maps API with live driver position updates, route visualization, and accurate ETA calculations.
Intelligent matching algorithm pairing riders with the nearest available drivers based on proximity, rating, and vehicle type.
Real-time fare engine factoring in distance, estimated time, traffic conditions, and surge pricing with transparent cost breakdown.
Integrated Paystack payments with support for card and Mobile Money, automated receipts, and driver payout management.
Instant push notifications for ride requests, driver acceptance, arrival alerts, and trip completion via Laravel WebSockets.
Post-ride ratings and reviews for both drivers and riders, building trust and maintaining service quality standards.
