a communication center
the drivers with their own vehicles and
the passengers.

The Drivers are recruited from the group of 55-70 year olds, the early retirees or unemployed but on the other hand still flawless drive car can.

description

The MSK is the combination of
a radio,
Radiotelephone
GPS,
Computer,
Memory, for time and kilometers,
Card reader,
Output unit,
and printers. These individual devices are networked with each other.

At the Beginning of standby time the driver from the control center an MSK, which he uses in his vehicle attach and connect to 12 volt outlet followed When driving, the driver puts a card with his data in the card reader.

To Inclusion of the passenger also puts this his card. Corresponding of the destination the tariff is entered (there are different tariffs for city and long-distance trips).

At the end of the journey, the passenger removes his card and receives a receipt with the following data:
Data of the driver and the passenger,
Date and time at the start of the journey, tariff, journey time, waiting time,
Total cost, date and time at the end of the journey.

To Termination of the standby period gives the driver his MSK in the central office and the stored data are stored in the computer Central office taken over. From there, the fare is deducted from the account of the passengers. simultaneously the data of the driver's card is transferred to a time account via which he can dispose of himself, if he can not or does not want to drive anymore.
