Reverse auction-based designated driver brokerage system with real-time driver availability display

Designated driver brokerage system combining real-time availability status with a reverse auction model

This technology consists of a brokerage server, a customer device, and a driver device. It facilitates a reverse auction-based designated driver service where customers input trip details such as origin and destination, and drivers bid their desired rates, allowing the customer to select their preferred driver.

Existing designated driver services often lack transparency in the selection process, as customers cannot choose their own drivers, making it difficult to build trust regarding pricing and service quality, while also creating potential for misuse or disputes.

By presenting driver information and bid amounts to the customer and displaying real-time availability, this technology allows customers to select the most suitable driver based on various factors. It can be applied to O2O mobility platforms, including designated driver services, to enhance service transparency and user convenience.
