Project Idea for Computer Science: GPS Based Auto Fare Mobile Application

Many people in India daily face problems in commuting through auto-rickshaws due to false fare claims by the rickshaw drivers.

It would be great if you develop an application that dynamically calculates the distance traveled using Global Positioning System (GPS) and hence the fare due.

This project will enable the commuter to get accurate fare from auto-rickshaws.

It can be started as one enters the auto-rickshaw and the meter in the phone will run alongside the auto’s meter.
Using the GPS, it can double-check the distance traveled as shown in the auto and calculate the exact fare.

Does the idea appeal to you? I am sure it will be of great help if the application is developed for all kinds of Mobile OS.
