A Scalable AI-Driven Framework for Sustainable Ride-Sharing and Intelligent Logistics Using Advanced Route Optimization

As the population grows and urbanization accelerates, there is expanding need for new transportation and logistical solutions. Today, ride-share and delivery services rely on dedicated drivers, which limit flexibility of transportation, and add overhead to service delivery. RouteGenie: AI Optimized Rides and Deliveries is a decentralized platform that allows residents to effectively become a transport service provider while on their own personal or work travel. RouteGenie enables users who are organizing travel to pool rides to transport passengers and use empty return trips to transport products using vans and/or trucks, while reducing the number of vehicles and traffic congestion on our roads. RouteGenie harnesses AI to optimize the route taken and increase travel efficiency; cut operational costs, reduce consumption of fuel and lower emissions. Performance measures evaluations indicates significant improvements in operational travel efficiency, as compare to conventional modes of transporting goods. This paper highlighted the potential of the platform, challenges with development and future opportunities to more sustainably developed a user-driven transportation and mobility system.
