Journey search

Mileus Journey search allows a ride hailing (RH) operator to search for intermodal journey plans based on user's input, retrieve matches and proceed with order flow.

Intermodal journey combines public transport (PT) with taxi (RH) cars in order to get the best out of both services, resulting in a route that is both comfortable and affordable.

Using either RH's own native app or Mileus SDK included in the app, the user can then go from the matched journey offer and order confirmation all the way through to journey directions en-route and order completion after drop-off.

Requirements

In order to use Journey search the RH operator needs to implement the following:

  • Ride events ingestion - to provide Mileus with real-time information about the rides that are happening and allow intermodal routes matching (Driver and Passenger events are not required)
  • Backend APIs - to support backend to backend communication which is required for the Journey search functionality
  • Frontend implementation - to support user-facing parts of the flow (Mileus SDKs can be used)

Match

When Mileus matches the user route with RH cars at suitable locations, i.e. detects that there are possibilities for efficient intermodal journeys, the matches are returned to the RH system. Each match specifies the journey plan, duration and other useful details for the user.
