How can TaxiMania be customized for different taxi companies?
TaxiMania can be easily customized for different taxi companies by modifying the branding elements, such as the logo, color scheme, and company name. In the _header.html file, you can update the logo image source and app title:
```html
```
Additionally, you can adjust the color variables in the styles.css file to match your company's branding.
Can TaxiMania integrate with existing taxi dispatch systems?
Yes, TaxiMania can be integrated with existing taxi dispatch systems. The current implementation focuses on the front-end user interface, but you can extend the functionality by adding API endpoints in the routes.py file to communicate with your dispatch system. For example:
```python from flask import request, jsonify
@app.route("/api/request-ride", methods=["POST"]) def request_ride(): data = request.json # Process the ride request and communicate with your dispatch system # Return a response with ride details or confirmation return jsonify({"status": "success", "message": "Ride requested"}) ```
You would then need to update the home.js file to send the form data to this new API endpoint.
What are the potential business applications of TaxiMania beyond traditional taxi services?
TaxiMania's core functionality can be adapted for various transportation and logistics services, including: - Ride-sharing platforms - Food delivery services - Courier and package delivery - On-demand services (e.g., home cleaning, beauty services) - Corporate transportation management
By expanding the form fields and adding features like service type selection or scheduling, TaxiMania can be transformed to suit these different business models.
