Enhancing Campus Mobility: A Requirement Engineering Approach to a Carpool System for University Students and Staff

The increasing requirement for efficient, cost-effective, and green transport has led to the implementation of a campus carpool scheme. In this paper, we discuss the process of engineering requirements for developing a carpool system to match university staff and students for daily commute on a shared basis. With the application of formal elicitation techniques, i.e., surveys and interviews, we elicited key user requirements and system constraints. The outcomes enumerate the principal issues of transport inefficiencies, costly commuting, and environmental concerns. Based on data collected, we determine system requirements functional and non-functional to achieve a secure, user-friendly, and efficient carpooling process. The research aids the growth of intelligent campus programs through presenting a scientific framework for deploying intelligent mobility solutions.
