Comfort comes with a Price: App-based Taxi Crises

The ios or android mobile application developers came up with an application based taxi which has been increased with Uber and ola being the big sharks of the taxi industry. Every invention comes with pros and cons, although sitting at your sofa and lowering the taxi in front of your house using the mobile application saves a hell of a struggle on the street and makes you feel luxurious too the troubles associated with the new implementation are unveiled only after the experience.

No doubt the commuting has been easier than before for the people with Smartphone in their hands. It is a great business solution as well because of the benefits of the third-party applications such as GPS, taxi management system and social sharing etc. The payment gateways are benefiting from the taxi based application.

But the after effects cannot be predicted, let’s check out the hidden loss of credit.

In spite of being the best option for traveling from one point to another locally and now even interstate is available on the taxi based application. Nobody talks about the inconvenience that was never experienced before.  The idea of taxi based application is totally new and so are the problems with its usage. It might be not as huge as the traffic problem that this application happens to solve but it’s got few setbacks.

Surge pricing
For all those who do not understand what surge pricing is, it is a marketing term which means the state of the market when the demand is excessive and the supply is less and the supplier tends to increase the cost. The increased cost is called surge pricing. In case of taxi booking app business, the market consists of the supply of car drivers and demand of passenger. At times there are more people commuting in an hour than the number of cabs available. Therefore, the prices tend to increase by a certain percentage and due to more availability of passengers; the driver tends to cancel the rides which cause inconvenience to passenger’s plans.

 Impact on drivers

Before it was just Uber in the market and the drivers would earn through surge pricing but with other competitors coming in the market, the average income of the drivers has been pushed downwards. Hence, the drivers had to increase the working hours to earn the same amount that they would make a year or two years ago.

Survival in the Industry
With more competitors in the market, the taxi based applications have to come up with new schemes and strategies. For example, the experience of the limousine is given at a cheaper rate to increase the number of rides although the expense is on the drivers which in return will account for poor services by the driver due to frustrations among the drivers.

Ease of Access

The drivers are unknown of the location until the trip is initiated which makes the passenger board from the exact location and the driver can’t cancel it.  The passenger doesn’t have to wait for longer estimated hours but it affects the drivers who have expensive cars and are not fit to move through muddy and broken roads. These are the add-on expenses over the drivers which go from their pockets.

Shared Cab Services
Although shared cab services are wonderful and benefit all three the passenger, the driver, and the application provider. The main demerit is not all people love to adjust. If the car has a capacity of three who can sit comfortably and one of them just comes along that causes the uncomfortable journey and can lead to disputes among the passengers and might decrease one regular passenger.

Closing words
Taxi-based application is great and have been a cure for traffic problems but the after effects can only be seen once it starts to implement the need for continuous improvement based on feedback is necessary for mobile application development companies on regular basis or else no matter how good the solution is if it isn’t accepted by the mass it makes no difference and disappears in no time.

Wait up!!! What if you could Fly Planes using Smartphone?

Yes, you read it right, being a child we all loved to fly paper planes which eventually used to drop down immediately but still, it felt so good. Well, the digital age generation gets to fly them and control them as well. 

The literal meaning of drone is a male bee for it sky is the limit and so is for the kids of the digital age. Drone is also known as unmanned aircraft vehicles; they were originally built for military use. 

Here is a fact; the term drone was opposed by the aviation professionals so now it’s referred as UAVs. They are seen in business to cover a particular event because of the camera placed on the top of the UAV and can be either controlled by control panel made using android application development or instructed computers. Multiple applications can be seen for UAV. For example 

-Quadcopter

-Multicolor

-Passenger vehicle

-Delivery purpose

Every country has its rules and regulations and the sky doesn’t have strong boundaries like land. Hence it is very necessary to know the coverage area of your flight. This mobile app developer makes sure that you could get all the possible information required to take off your UAV.  As per your location, it gives the forecast for visibility, wind speed, temperature etc. The application is used to identify no-fly zones.

·        Hover

The mobile app development at Hover have made the UAV controlling very efficient. Apart from providing the navigation of no-fly zone, it also provides international no-fly zone by AirMap.io. Flight logs are also covered by this application along flight readiness indicator. The entire forecast is covered by this application with details like wind speed, direction and rain condition. Constant news feeds are telecasted by the application as well.

·        B4UFly

This application helps the pilot fly his UAV within the law and focuses on keeping the pilot away from any trouble that can involve judgment over their action. It is more of a warning app which indicates you with the prohibited areas. This application is only accessible in the USA.

·        AirMap

The above-mentioned apps are providing the basic features so, AirMap had to come up with the new feature. They focused on the safety of the UAVs, it enables you to view pilot profile, gives you access to airspace data with super fast vector map, Flight notifications are given in form of digital files and real-time alerts.

·        Drone Assist

This application is for UK region only. The Civil Aviation Authority and National Air Traffic Control joined hands to launch this application and thousands of drone pilots downloaded this application. This application again provides caution notification and helps to keep the pilot away from the prohibited area.

 To Sum Up

UAVs have not able to reach the fancy stage of a particular invention but it’s evolving. It has been in use by the military for a long time. NASA uses it to have samples from other planet monitored. In media coverage, its used commercially and photographers make use of these UAVs for covering an event from the top. The popularity of drones will come into the market after a way is found to make it available for common people. Many big sharks have opened their doors to explore the innovation in this area and mobile application development companies will be looked upon for a user end application.
