Project Details
⚠️ Project Status: Active Development - An ongoing, sophisticated real-time shuttle management ecosystem handling complex hotel transport logistics with multi-platform architecture and live tracking capabilities.
System Architecture:
Multi-Platform Infrastructure (6 Repositories)
- Server: Node.js/Express backend with WebSocket real-time communication
- Guest Portal: Hotel selection and shuttle booking interface
- Front Desk System: Guest verification and request management
- Driver Application: Route management and live tracking interface
- Admin Dashboard: Comprehensive scheduling and analytics platform
- Super Admin Panel: Multi-hotel management and system configuration
Real-time Logistics Flow:
Booking & Verification Process
1. Guest Request: Guest selects hotel and requests shuttle through web portal
2. Real-time Notification: Request instantly appears on front desk system via WebSockets
