Mobility Plan

NodeZero Decentralized Ride-Sharing

1. Ride-Sharing Architecture

Peer-to-Peer Model

Residents offer rides to each other via mesh network:

  • Vehicle owners register on mesh
  • Availability broadcasted via mesh
  • Riders request via mesh app
  • Automatic matching and routing

Service Types

  • Commute rides (daily, scheduled routes)
  • On-demand rides (anytime, anywhere)
  • Tourist transport (airport, attractions, hotel)
  • Shuttle services (fixed routes, regular intervals)
  • Accessibility rides (wheelchair, priority seating)

2. Ride Flow

  1. Rider opens app and enters destination
  2. Mesh routes request to available vehicles
  3. Best match (cost, time, distance) selected
  4. Driver accepts
  5. Ride tracked via mesh
  6. Payment via Lightning (instant)
  7. Rating shared on mesh

3. Pricing Model

Dynamic Pricing

  • Base fare: 0.5 EUR + 0.1 EUR/km
  • Surge pricing during peak hours (up to 2x)
  • Vehicle type modifier (standard, large, accessible)
  • Distance modifier for long trips (>10km)

Payment Methods

  • Lightning payment (satoshis per ride)
  • Cash
  • Tourist daily pass (100000 satoshis = unlimited rides)
