The main problem our application addresses is, connecting drivers whose cars are broken down on the road and are in an emergency with the nearest service point that can provide the drivers with the service they need in an efficient and effective manner
The core of our project relies in these two points:
- Help drivers locate the nearest point where the car can be served and maintained using an Android application. This as mentioned above leads to reduction in car accidents, and saved time, money and effort.
- The application will have two interfaces: one that helps drivers locate the nearest available service point and call for help, and the other through which staff at service points will handle and deal with drivers' requests.
The project has three main outputs, which are:
-
Drivers Application: This is an application that drivers use to: locate and contact service points, book appointments, browse and review service points.
-
Service Points Application: Through this application service points can: accept or decline requests, issue bills and view the route to the location, from which the request was made, on a map, as well as, the time and distance taken to reach it.

- Website: The website is an introductory website where users can: download the app, know more about the application, contact us and send their feedback.
The drivers interface has three main components:
- S.O.S.: here drivers can locate the nearest service point in case of emergency.
- Booking: using this feature allows car owners to book and schedule an appointment for car maintenance whenever they desire as long as the service point has a capacity to serve them at the picked date and time.
- Do it yourself: drivers can access a guide through which they can fix their own cars themselves, if needed.
Driver-interface features:
- Locating the nearest online registered service point or tow truck in the area.
- Sending an S.O.S. request.
- Searching for the best service point in an area.
- Booking an appointment at the desired service point.
- Getting a notification as a reminder of the booked appointment.
- Rating and reviewing service points.
- Viewing service history.
- Comparing the latest promotions by service points.
The system uses Firebase which is Google's mobile platform through which developing high-quality Android applications is developed. We decided to use it because it has a cloud storage, allows hosting, cloud messaging and remote configuration, has a Realtime database, ensures authentication, performs crash analysis and monitoring, and uses predictions, app indexing and dynamic links.
