| Feature | PublicAgent | Tera Link | Combined Impact | |---------|-------------|-----------|-----------------| | | Provides an open API for city planners, campus transport offices, and NGOs to ingest ride data (anonymized). | Stores immutable ride logs, enabling transparent audits. | Enables evidence‑based policy making and campus sustainability reporting. | | Trust & Safety | Decentralized identity verification, GDPR‑compliant data vaults. | Smart contracts enforce credit escrow, preventing fraud. | Guarantees that every rider and driver is vetted and accountable. | | Scalability | Modular micro‑services can spin up per campus or city district. | DAG consensus handles thousands of tx/s with sub‑second finality. | Supports a national rollout across 150+ universities without bottlenecks. | | Economic Inclusion | Credits are non‑transferable within the ecosystem, preventing speculation. | Interoperable with broader Tera Link economy (e‑books, event tickets). | Turns rides into a “micro‑earning” channel for part‑time students. | | Environmental Impact | Reduces duplicate trips, cutting campus carbon footprints. | Immutable data proves emissions reductions for reporting. | Contributes to university ESG goals and can be showcased to donors. |
| Step | What Happens | Tech Behind It | |------|--------------|----------------| | | Students sign in using their university SSO (OAuth2). A quick background check (via PublicAgent’s verification API) validates identity and driving eligibility. | PublicAgent Identity Service, Gov‑verified DB, Zero‑Knowledge Proofs for privacy | | 2️⃣ Profile & Preferences | Drivers list vehicle details, seating capacity, preferred routes, and availability windows. Passengers set origin/destination, time constraints, and comfort preferences (e.g., music, pet‑friendly). | GraphQL schema on Tera Link, user‑centric UI built in React‑Native | | 3️⃣ Real‑Time Matching | When a passenger posts a ride request, the matching engine runs a weighted algorithm (distance, time, reputation, credit‑balance) and returns the top 3 driver options. | Tera Link’s DAG‑based consensus, AI‑enhanced matcher (TensorFlow Lite) | | 4️⃣ Ride Confirmation | Both parties accept, exchange a one‑time QR code, and the ride is locked on the blockchain. The QR code is scanned in‑car to start the trip timer. | Smart contract on Tera Link, QR‑code generator, off‑chain IoT sensor fallback | | 5️⃣ Journey & Safety | The app monitors speed, route, and driver behavior (via anonymized telemetry). If anomalies occur, a panic button alerts campus security and the PublicAgent incident hub. | Edge AI for anomaly detection, PublicAgent Emergency Service API | | 6️⃣ Settlement & Rewards | At journey’s end, the driver automatically receives Mobility Credits (MCs) , split 80 % to the driver and 20 % to the passenger (to encourage repeat use). Credits can be redeemed for campus services or exchanged on the Tera Link marketplace. | ERC‑1155‑style token on Tera Link, atomic swap to university accounting system | | 7️⃣ Reputation Loop | Both sides rate each other (1‑5 stars + optional feedback). Ratings feed back into the matching algorithm, ensuring a self‑policing community. | PublicAgent Reputation Service, decentralized score aggregation | PublicAgent - Tera Link - Hitchhiking Student F...
