Passenger Interface: For passengers to book rides, view ride history, and track drivers.
Driver Interface: For drivers to accept rides, navigate to pickup/drop-off locations, and view earnings.
Admin Panel: For managing users, drivers, and rides.
Here’s an outline of what your system could include, written in PHP with a MySQL backend:

Features:
Passenger Interface:
User Registration/Login
Book a Taxi (Pickup/Drop-off, time scheduling)
Track Driver in Real-Time (Google Maps API)
Payment Integration (e.g., PayPal, Stripe)
View Ride History
Driver Interface:
Login and Status Management (Online/Offline)
View and Accept Ride Requests
Navigation to Pickup/Drop-off (Google Maps API)
View Earnings
Notifications for New Rides
Admin Panel:
Manage Users and Drivers
View and Manage Rides
Track Vehicles in Real-Time
Generate Reports (Earnings, Ride Data)
Set Pricing Rules and Surge Pricing
Technologies:
Backend: PHP, MySQL
Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Framework: Bootstrap for UI)
API Integration: Google Maps API for routing and live location tracking
Payment Integration: Stripe, PayPal, or other gateways
Driver and Passenger Apps: Native apps (optional) or responsive web apps
Development Steps:
Database Design: Create tables for Users, Drivers, Rides, Payments, etc.
User Authentication: Use PHP sessions or JWT for secure login/logout.
Ride Booking System: Develop booking logic to assign nearby drivers.
Driver Matching Algorithm: Implement real-time matching using GPS data.
Real-Time Updates: Use WebSockets (e.g., Ratchet for PHP) or Firebase for live ride tracking.
Admin Dashboard: Provide full control over system operations for the admin.
Example Project Structure:
bash
Copy code
/project-root
