 ABSTRACT
Bangladesh is not only a small but also an over-populated country in the world. For this
huge amount of people, there is also a huge number of vehicles in this country. But as we
all know that Bangladesh is a developing country, and as per the development of both
economic and social status more people will be interested in private transportation.
Considering this aspect, we are developing an online platform where we can meet the
demand of the people for private transportation at a low cost and in the easiest way.
Every kind of service is available now online. That’s why this online rent-a-car system
will be easy to adopt. Though there are other online cars renting services already
available in Bangladesh. But they are costly and mainly focused on a one-way trip. But
our system will give the freedom to choose whether it will be a one-way trip or not & to
save your money. The outcome of this platform will benefit drivers, passengers, and the
environment. Simply, saying this project is all about a developed ride-sharing system
where there will also be a car reserving system for future or instant use, you can reserve
your ride and also choose the type of reserved car.

 CHAPTER 1

Introduction

1.1 Introduction
Customers will be able to reserve their cars thanks to the car rental system. Customers fill
out their personal information to submit information to this application. A customer can
reserve a car after setting up an account on the website. The suggested system is a fully
integrated online system. It streamlines and streamlines manual processes. Customers are
helped by this automated process, which enables them to fill in the details as needed. It
includes details on the location and the kind of car they want to rent. This system seeks to
develop a website where users can reserve cars and make service requests either
immediately upon need or in the future. In our country, there are currently three to four
ride-sharing apps. for instance, Uber, Pathao, Obhai, etc. These three ride-sharing
businesses in particular are extremely well-liked by the general public. Since they offer
food and package delivery services in addition to ride-sharing services. Why then do we
require yet another ride-sharing service? Because it provides more than simply
transportation; it also offers a Rent-A-Car service. Here, in addition to providing real-
time services, we will also offer booking services so that users can schedule rides in the
future. Not only can people schedule a ride, but they can also pick the kind of vehicle
they want to utilize, such as a premium or vintage model. We are developing a three-step
system for auto parts, auto repair, and car rentals. Additionally, a sizable number of
branded cars will have registered on our website. so that without having to buy it, our
clients can ride in their ideal vehicle. WordPress was used to build this website, along
with a variety of plugins that will make it user-friendly. On this website, SEO was
employed to speed it up. Everyone will be able to find this website simply because we
chose live domain hosting. Our website has six sections that will be used to carry out the
entire working procedure.

ix
1.2 Motivation
Information and communication technology is rapidly evolving on a global scale, and its
implications on major economies have been considered disruptive to the old traditional
economic structures. ICT has had the biggest impact and changed the most in the
transportation sector, particularly the urban transportation sector (Taxi services), most
referred to as the "demand economy" or the "ride-sharing economy". Such a ride-sharing
business strategy is gradually reaching emerging nations, changing the business
environment there. Volatility in the population's employability and service users'
employment status, and residents. Bangladesh is a developing nation, thus as time passes
more individuals will become interested in private transportation or will thrive for an
efficient transportation system to save time. Our website will help with that. As far as we
are aware, in today's digital Bangladesh, everything is turned on online. We choose this
position since there is currently no efficient online solution for renting, maintaining, and
selling parts for private cars all in one location. In addition, as time goes on, we'll be
moving into the online era, therefore to stay up, we choose to create and develop web
applications because there will be a significant market for them in the future.

1.3 Objective
Our main goal is to offer various car types for hire to our customers through this website
application based on various occasions and for casual use. We will also provide highly
adorned car servicing for branded automobiles as well as for antique cars since we want
to be a one-stop shop for cars. Our website will have a variety of brand-name car parts
available so that customers may purchase them there as well. For individuals who want to
drive their dream cars, we will have branded vehicles available for rent. Additionally,
folks who have extra cars can register here to make money from them. We are all
currently residing in an era of online services and the internet. Even though ordering any
services online is now simple, it is extremely uncommon to see all of a sector's problems
solved in a single medium. Therefore, we are working toward the goal of improving the
usability of web services for vehicles. Even though we have already taken the first step
toward realizing that objective, much work remains.

x
1.4 Expected Outcomes
In our nation, there are just too many people and vehicles. However, as our nation
develops in terms of both its economic and social standing, more people will become
interested in private transportation. In light of this, we are creating an internet platform to
help us meet public demand for private transportation. at a reasonable price and in the
simplest manner. Today, you may get any service online. Because of this, it will be
simple to use this online auto rental method. Despite the fact that our country already has
other online automobile rental providers. However, they are pricey and designed
primarily for one-way travel. However, our system will provide you the option to decide
whether or not it will be a one-way trip and to save your money. The platform's final
results will benefit motorists, passengers, and the environment.

1.5 Project Management and Finance

We are using live hosting to live our website on the internet.
Live domain hosting process:
1. Buy domain hosting from a good service provider some international and
Bangladeshi domain hosting provider as follows
https://www.namecheap.com/,https://www.godaddy.com/en-in,
https://www.webhostbd.com/,
intelwebhost.com
2. Login to C-panel
3. Create a database and user account and connect the database with the user
4.Download WordPress zip from https://wordpress.org/download/ and unzip it
3. Copy all the WordPress folder and files and paste it into the folder that one created in
the file manager folder of the c-panel
4. Then set up WordPress using database and user name.
We bought a domain from a website named NAMECHEAP. It cost us 1500 BDT to buy
the domain hosting. It has a 1-year expiring time. After 1 year we will have to renew it to
keep our website live.

Background

2.1 Preliminaries/Terminologies
Online ride-sharing is a popular car renting system in foreign countries. They make every
effort to improve the quality of car rides in those countries. A person who doesn’t own a
car and also doesn’t want to use public transport through this system can easily hire a car
for their use and just pay for the service he/she got.
By creating this system, we want to add a new flexible online car renting system in
Bangladesh. People can get a smooth one-stop solution for car renting & car servicing
through this application. This online system is designed in such a way that people can
easily use it. This is a web-based application. For this, one doesn’t need any personal
phone to use the application. One doesn’t require any fees for using this application. This
application is beneficial for passengers and car drivers.

2.2 Existing Systems

The Ridesharing concept isn’t new to our country. But there are some pros & cons in
these systems. Let’s know about those existing systems:

1. Uber.
2. Pathao.
3. Obhai.

UBER
Uber is a provider of mobility services in America. Uber provides a wide variety of ride
alternatives. The most well-known and consistent offering from the company is UberX.
The company also provides Uber XL, Uber Comfort, and Uber Black. Uber XLs often

xiii
have SUV-style sides and have enough for up to 6 passengers. Uber Black is Uber's
premium offering.
Garrett Camp, a programmer and co-founder of StumbleUpon, and Travis Kalanick, who
had previously sold his Red Swoosh firm for $19 million in 2007, established Uber as
Ubercab in 2009.
Camp sought to discover a way to lower the price of direct transportation after he and his
buddies spent $800 hiring a private driver. His idea evolved into Uber when he
recognized that splitting the cost with others may make it more reasonable.

Pathao
The on-demand digital platform business Pathao is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The
business is active in four Bangladeshi cities—Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Sylhet—as
well as Kathmandu, Nepal. Pathao offers courier, restaurant delivery, ride-sharing, and
online shopping services. The first significant ride-hailing business in Bangladesh to
receive an enlisting certificate from the authorities is Pathao. Back in 2015, Pathao began
its adventure as a delivery business using a fleet of motorcycles and bicycles. They
served as a delivery service for a number of Bangladeshi e-commerce businesses.
Midway through 2016, Pathao launched its bike-sharing program. By March 2018, the
company had successfully signed up more than 100,000 drivers and around 1 million
riders nationwide. Pathao follows a Super App model, providing all of its services through
one app.
Pathao offers ride-sharing services on demand using bikes and automobiles. To use
Pathao's service, the driver and passenger must both have internet- and GPS-enabled
smartphones running Android or iOS. In order to connect the passenger with a driver
traveling in that direction nearby, Pathao uses a location-based approach.
They did not anticipate that amount of traffic when they developed their initial systems,
and their monolithic platform was not prepared to handle it. To facilitate the deployment
of microservices, they made the decision to switch to a microservice architecture and
relocate to a Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud. Their goal was to create a single app
that would function in a variety of industries, including groceries, packages, gaming,

xiv
health, transportation, and streaming video. For some use situations, that called for a
particular form of a database.

Obhai
In Bangladesh, there is a ride-sharing service called OBHAI, a project of the MGH
Group. The service is run using a smartphone app, and users can choose between a CNG
vehicle, a car, a microbus, or a motorcycle to get where they need to go. It was first only
launched with the CNG service before eventually adding other services. With the
intention of providing dependable and practical transportation throughout Bangladesh,
OBHAI entered the market. The Obhai creator claims that a passenger can choose one of
the four services via the app by defining the destination. Their tagline is "no more waiting
- ride in minutes."

The CNG auto-rickshaws and microbuses have now been added to the ride-sharing
services for the first time.

2.3 Comparative Studies

If we compare, there are very few online-based ride-sharing applications in Bangladesh.

All of them are mobile applications. Most applications are providing the same feature-
like an option you have to reserve a vehicle for going somewhere. Someone can hardly
find any application which provides both reserve and sharing ride features. Hardly
anyone can find such an application that will provide you with the ride as well as car
servicing. Most of the application has data leak mark on them. On the other hand,
they don't have many user-friendly features.
Ours is a complete ride-sharing application that works as a web-based online rent-a-car &
servicing platform. From children to adults, anyone can use it very easily. This
application will provide the most facilities to all users.

xv
2.4 Challenges
There were a lot of challenges we faced while implementing the project. The challenges
are mentioned below:
i. The First challenge was to think about the idea and accuracy that what are actually
going to implement as a rent-a-car web application.
ii. Then, we had to think about a name that can relate to our work and at the same
time easy to search.
iii. Soon after, we began to develop the tools and functionality we would utilize in this
program. In order to complete this work and make it user-friendly, we had to consider a
wide range of original concepts and features.
iv. The next step was deciding the programming language and libraries to utilize. Another
difficult task was selecting the ideal language.
v. We had to select a theme that is appropriate for all users because our website serves as
a platform for both drivers and passengers. It was a serious challenge.

Design specification

4.1 Front-end -design:

In a formal sense, we might say that the front end is the "man or woman issue" of
a website. website exploiter can view the front surrender. It mainly concentrated
on the early problems and advantages of a website. Our website was styled using
xampp /Cpanel, WordPress, WordPress themes and plugins, HTML, and CSS. [2]

Home page:
The home page of a website is generally the first page. Whether or whether they
are currently using the website, anyone can access this page. On the homepage,
there are many features to choose from. However, unless a user registers, they will
not be able to utilize all the functions. Located at the top of the page is a menu bar.
Additional features can be found at the very bottom of each page, such as
"Contact," which enables users to get in touch with us and view our location.
Additionally, our users can view our pick-up section, where they can go directly
and locate available vehicles.

4.2 Back-end-design:
The back end of a website is a section that users cannot access. The majority of back-end
operations include setting up servers and databases.
code: As back-end code, we used a framework WordPress. We designed the back-end
part of our website using this. We implemented this website by using WordPress theme
and its plugins and customize.

4.3 Interaction Design and User Experience

The strategy of combining users with the system is known as interaction design. This
methodology will enable us to create a user-friendly website. It would improve the
usability of our system.
However, UX (User Experience) design is more like influencing how users feel about
technology.

4.4 Implementation Requirements

We used the C panel editor to host the application for implementing our project.
We used it with PHP programming language in the back-end using the WordPress
framework.
We also use a browser and a local host to run the project by using Xampp.

xxix
 CHAPTER 5
IMPLEMENTATION AND TESTING

5.1 Implementation of Database:

We used the
● MYSQL database and
● WordPress framework
to implement the database.
Using the PHP programming language, a website can be built using WordPress. It is a
strong framework that is simple to use.
An open-source relational database management system is called MySQL.

5.2 Execution of Front-End Design

For designing the front-end, we use- WordPress, WordPress themes and plugins, HTML,
and CSS.

5.3 Implementation of Interactions:

We talk about our concept with our teachers, friends, and supervisor for comments on
our website. They offer us suggestions on how to make our work better. To make our
website user-friendly, we made significant use of features and options.

5.4Testing Implementation:
The foundational step in building a website is testing. In the course of processing the
website, we repeatedly tested our project. Throughout this testing, we discovered a lot of
faults and mistakes. However, since we thoroughly tested the website before launching it,
fixing faults and issues now takes much less time. To make sure we don't run into any
problems and create a reliable website, we should test systems frequently.

Impact on Society, Environment, and Sustainability

6.1 Impact on Society

Through a mobile app, ridesharing enables anyone in need of transportation to contact a

pool of drivers. The "sharing economy" has several different components, but ridesharing
is by far the largest. Platforms for ridesharing bring together drivers and cars with
passengers looking for rides at a set cost. A customer often uses a smartphone app to
order a ride at a specific time and location. The customer is then guided through a
number of steps by the phone app, including the ride's real or anticipated cost, the driver's
location, and the anticipated wait time.

Car-sharing users may find a ride via a smartphone app. A ride-sharing app finds the
closest accessible car and matches the passenger with it. On the basis of knowing when a
car will come, passengers can accept or decline a ride with a driver. They do not need to
call a taxi company and wait for a car to arrive after waiting for a taxi with a driver to
appear on the street so they may hail it.
The ride-sharing system or software offers a wide range of vehicle options, so a user can
choose one based on their preferences. As a result, people have a better overall
experience and are more inclined to select an affordable mode of transportation. Taxi
riders frequently have no idea how much their trip will cost them because they are unable
to choose how much to tip. When utilizing a ride-sharing app, users can choose between
a standard or luxury vehicle with a driver. Second, passengers are always informed of the
ride fare prior to boarding the vehicle.

Instead of wondering about having enough cash for a driver, users of ride-sharing
smartphone applications can pay with a credit card. The majority of ride-sharing apps
allow customers to tip drivers, which can subsequently be paid for using a credit card.
When using ride-sharing services, the destination is chosen by the passengers. The need
to share a ride with others is not always required. It might be a great substitute for hailing

xxxi
a cab. However, the option to split costs is the main benefit that ride-sharing services
offer to users. Our main purpose is, through this web application, we provide different
types of cars to rent for our clients based on different types of occasions and for casual
use. We will also provide highly decorated car servicing for branded cars and also for
classic cars.

Our website will offer a variety of brand-name car parts available so that customers may
purchase them there as well. For individuals who want to drive their dream cars, we will
have branded vehicles available for rent. Additionally, folks who have extra cars can
register them here to make money. Because users would be able to ride, maintain, and
purchase everything related to cars in one location, our suggested system will be a one-
stop solution for vehicles like private cars and micros.

6.2 Impact on Environment

Ridesharing services encourage users to postpone car purchases, reducing the overall
number of automobiles on the road. According to studies, there are typically between 9
and 13 fewer cars on the road for every car-sharing vehicle in operation. People want to
escape the exorbitant costs of car ownership, which is why this is the case. So they either
delay getting a car or sell one.

Additionally, it has been calculated that individuals using ridesharing services

significantly cut car emissions by between 34% and 41% annually. The biggest
contributors to air pollution are cars and small vehicles. Global warming is accelerated by
air pollution, as we have previously witnessed. But as we've discovered, ridesharing
contributes to a decrease in the number of cars, and fewer cars emit less carbon dioxide.
It claims that each vehicle operated by a ridesharing company like Uber or Lyft reduces
greenhouse gas emissions by 5.5 to 12.7 tons annually.

According to scientists, this helped to reduce overall car emissions of carbon dioxide by
roughly 10%.

xxxii
Ridesharing can therefore aid in reducing global warming. We already know that the
world's remaining oil reserves are dwindling quickly. We should work to efficiently use it
in addition to conserving it.

Road congestion generates travel delays that cost more than 3 billion gallons of fuel to
burn in addition to nearly 7 billion additional hours of wasted time in traffic. As
previously said, ridesharing thus dramatically lessens the traffic on the roads. With fewer
cars on the road, less gasoline is needed, extending the useful life of non-renewable
energy sources. The ecology is heavily impacted by vehicles. Even while people can't
entirely quit driving, they can still help the environment by using ridesharing services.
Prior to it being too late, it is crucial to act and enhance the environment. Renting a car
rather than purchasing a brand-new one is one way that individuals may personally
improve the world.

6.3 Ethical Aspects

Particularly during the pandemic when isolation is a concern, many travelers disregard
renting a car. Customers choose a convenient and prompt service, yet it is no longer rare
for car rentals to be late. Vehicles choose-US wait each 1/3 of the time, generally. Car
rental businesses must meet their client’s needs given the intense competition in this
market.

A car rental reservation machine is what you need if you want to take online reservations
and easily manage your fleet (RRS). This article will describe the basic components of a
vehicle RRS, review some of the key software vendors, and offer advice for those who
are willing to put in the work to create their own platform.

Automobile rental Modules of the reservation system:

When a user decides to rent a car in advance, they go to a car rental website or app and
find a car that suits their needs. Then, if a deposit is required, book it online and pay for
the selected condo time.

xxxiii
This client shows up at the car rental location on the scheduled day to pick up the desired
vehicle. A representative creates copies of their identification, goes through the details of
the lease, briefs them on any special features of the vehicle, and then hands them the
keys. The agent examines the car's mileage and looks for any damages as the customer
drops it off.

The car rental system actually involves a lot of additional internal processes. They can be
automated to increase service speed and quality. Let's focus on how each car’s RRS
module contributes to it. [9]

Engine for booking car rentals:

The core of the system for making car rentals is a booking engine.

The engine retrieves the most recent list of vehicles available for purchase, along with
their associated add-ons and prices, when it is synced with the stock database.

Additionally, the module frequently utilizes the following capabilities.

payment processes. The reservation engine is linked to a payment gateway, such as
PayPal, Braintree, or Stripe, and it collects online payments from customers and
generates digital invoices. Additionally, it computes all rental expenses, keeps track of
outstanding client invoices, and generates financial reports.

Processing of reservations:

1. To complete the reservation.

2. The engine sends reservation information to the fleet control module.

3. Customer courting management module enters buyer information.

4. Notifies the assignment management module so that agents can put together the car on
time.

5. And sends the customer confirmation in their reservation.

Handling the avenues of distribution:

Third parties may also make bookings.

By integrating with the booking engine, GDSs, OTAs, and other travel consolidators can
access the car rental itinerary and distribute it on their end. Their referral rates are
calculated and assigned by a booking engine. A car rental agent manually enters the
walk-in and phone reservations into the system.

Management of fleet

A fleet involves extensive monitoring, including tracking down and distributing vehicles
to clients as well as keeping track of the condition of each vehicle and its history of
damage and repairs. On fleet management, we have an exhaustive essay.

Conclusion and Future Scope

7.1 Conclusion
From Bangladesh's standpoint, there are certain opportunities and difficulties with ride-
sharing services. In order to properly expand this service to other cities, the executives
and the legislative body should take the proper steps to address the issues and dangers
while maximizing the chances and opportunities. The government can play a vital role in
improving the quality and services provided by the ride-sharing company by, among
other things, offering loans with favorable terms and conditions, assisting with route
approval and license applications, providing logistics and infrastructure support, and
subsidizing startups. To address the issues they are currently facing, the government can
also review the 5% tax imposed and grant tax rebates. The company must spread to and
concentrate on other cities as soon as feasible in order to improve the quality of apps and
servers. In order to become known, and acceptable, and help the vendors understand the
relative benefits of using this service, they must also work to raise awareness of their
services and make sure that all potential consumers are aware of them through effective
promotion and advertisement.

7.2 Future Opportunities

We have prepared this application for our Final Project. So, we have had to do it in a
limited
time. For that we couldn't do many variations and also couldn't add many features. If we
get any opportunities later to improve our website, we will surely do it. We want to add
more languages so anyone can use it easily. We want to add more options like a safety
button for our passengers, so by clicking that button our admin will be notified that a
passenger is in danger. Besides we want to add an option for car owners who would like
to sign up for their vehicle on our website to earn money.
