Privilege: An Innovative Mobile Application Featuring Passengers Transport Riding Safety Checking, Driver Selection, and Emergency Assistance

For passengers using transportation, the expansion of ride-sharing platforms, various types of vehicles, and various riding services has presented new security and safety challenges. Passengers may experience accidents, injuries, harassment, and robbery-related incidents as a result of improper driver and passenger monitoring systems, illegal vehicle registration, careless driving, driver alcohol consumption, and sleep deprivation. To check the safety status of passengers in Bangladesh by examining driver and passenger behavior, aggressive driving, and unusual activity during transport driving, no appropriate ICT-based system or mobile application was available in the existing research. To address the issue of passenger safety, this paper presents an innovative mobile application that allows users to check the status of their transportation safety by analyzing driving patterns, suspicious activity, and the behavior of both drivers and passengers. Additionally, user IDs are verified, and users can select and book a driver by evaluating their availability, experience, cost, rating, post-query functionality, app reviews, and security force contact information regarding questionable travel behavior. Up to 73% of reviewers left positive comments about the app’s usefulness and benefits, according to the app’s competence and superiority analysis.
