System for transporting a vulnerable population to a desired destination by one or more drivers in a set of trusted drivers
This disclosure generally relates to a method and system for scheduling a ride for a third party by a ride requestor. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a ride request for a third party rider from a user device. The method may further include identifying a set of drivers from a trusted drivers and identifying from the set of trusted drivers, an optimal driver. The method may further include transmitting a ride confirmation to the ride requestor, the optimal driver, and the third party rider.
1. A method for scheduling a ride for a third party rider by a ride requestor, comprising:
receiving, by a server device including a processor and from a user device associated with the ride requestor, a ride request for a third party rider;
determining, by the server device including a processor, a social network connection between the ride requestor and one or more drivers from a pool of drivers;
identifying, by the server device including the processor and from the pool of drivers, a set of trusted drivers based on the social network connection between one or more drivers from the pool of drivers and the ride requestor;
identifying, by the server device including a processor, a geographic location of the ride requestor and one or more of the one or more drivers among the set of trusted drivers;
determining, by the server device including the processor, an optimal driver from among the set of trusted drivers, based on a geographical distance between the optimal driver and the ride requestor;
transmitting, by the server device including the processor, a ride confirmation to the user device associated with the ride requestor, the optimal driver, and the third party rider;
receiving, by the server device including the processor from the user device associated with the ride requestor, an audio instruction in a voice of the ride requestor spoken in a manner that allows the third party rider to recognize the voice to a device associated with the third party rider; and
receiving, by the server device including the processor, a confirmation from the device associated with the third party rider upon recognition of the audio instruction.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each driver in the set of trusted drivers is a contact of the ride requestor on a social media network.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the optimal driver is identified from the set of trusted drivers based on information provided in the ride request.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the optimal driver is identified from the set of trusted drivers based on one or more parameters provided by the optimal driver.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of trusted drivers is identified based on having previously provided a driving service for the ride requestor.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user device is a mobile device.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ride confirmation includes identification information.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the identification information includes a pictorial representation of the third party rider.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein identification information includes driver vehicle identification information.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprises, transmitting a real time status update of the ride to the ride requestor.
11. A system for scheduling a ride for a third party rider by a ride requestor, comprising:
a server device, including a processor to:
receive, from a user device associated with the ride requestor, a ride request for a third party rider;
determine a social network connection between the ride requestor and one or more drivers from a pool of drivers;
identify, from the pool of drivers, a set of trusted drivers based on the social network connection between one or more drivers from the pool of drivers and the ride requestor;
identify a geographic location of the ride requestor and one or more of the one or more drivers among the set of trusted drivers;
determine, from among the set of trusted drivers, an optimal driver based on a geographical distance between the optimal driver and the ride requestor;
transmit a ride confirmation to the ride requestor, the optimal driver, and the third party rider;
receive, from the user device associated with the ride requestor, an audio instruction in a voice of the ride requestor spoken in a manner that allows the third party rider to recognize the voice to a device associated with the third party rider; and
receive, from the device associated with the third party rider, a confirmation upon recognition of the audio instruction.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the optimal driver is identified from the set of trusted drivers based on information provided in the ride request.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the optimal driver is identified from the set of trusted drivers based on one or more parameters provided by the optimal driver.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the ride confirmation includes identification information.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the identification information includes driver vehicle information.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive, from a user device associated with a ride requestor, a ride request for a third party rider;
determine a social network connection between the ride requestor and one or more drivers from a pool of drivers;
identify, from the pool of drivers, a set of trusted drivers based on the social network connection between one or more drivers from the pool of drivers and the ride requestor;
identify a geographic location of the ride requestor and one or more of the one or more drivers among the set of trusted drivers;
determine, from among the set of trusted drivers, an optimal driver based on a geographical distance between the optimal driver and the ride requestor;
transmit a ride confirmation to the ride requestor, the optimal driver, and the third party rider;
receive, from the user device associated with the ride requestor, an audio instruction in a voice of the ride requestor spoken in a manner that allows the third party rider to recognize the voice to a device associated with the third party rider; and
receive, from the device associated with the third party rider, a confirmation upon recognition of the audio instruction.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the processor further transmits the ride confirmation to a device associated with the third party rider.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein each driver in the set of trusted drivers is a contact of the ride requestor on a social media network.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the optimal driver is identified from the set of trusted drivers based on one or more parameters provided by the optimal driver.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the set of trusted drivers is identified based on having previously provided a driving service for the ride requestor.
