Design and Implementation of a Multi-agent on-demand Courier Application
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Computer Science
Abstract
The advent of on-demand courier services has caused a major shift in the logistics sector in recent years. These platforms make use of technology to offer delivery services that are quick, dependable, and convenient and that are catered to the requirements of contemporary businesses and consumers. Same-day delivery is becoming more and more popular among online shoppers, who need quick, affordable, and adaptable on-demand delivery options. This work uses direct peer-to-peer transshipment to suggest, design, and evaluate a new multi-agent on-demand, same-day delivery approach. The analysis of existing literature has provided valuable insights into the technological advancements, market trends, and user preferences shaping the landscape of on-demand courier services. The use of flutter flow, flutter and firebase technologies were used to create a multi-agent on-demand courier application that connects users in need of delivery service to the nearest delivery agent for a seamless delivery service. Based on the waterfall model adopted to create the application, the user creates an account, verifies the account, enters a pickup, drop off location and package needs according to the vehicle type then proceeds the app matching the user to the nearest delivery service, alongside confirmation and transaction details. The developed application output performed as expected, user?s data can easily be added and removed from the database and the application works well with a device type.
