How WebSockets enable real-time tracking in modern taxi management systems?

WebSockets are a way to communicate between a client and a server. The communication is bi-directional that is data can flow in both directions: from the client to the server and from the server to the client. Since WebSockets are always open, they allow for real-time data flow in an application, which makes way for real-time information flow back and forth.

WebSockets are an advanced technology that makes it possible to open an interactive communication session between the user’s browser and a server. WebSockets lets you send messages to a server and trigger event-driven responses. They are not required to poll the server all the time for replies.
 

Event Driven architecture can achieve real time APIs

“Real-time” or event driven API is ubiquitous in the modern application stack. Unlike request-response APIs in which a requestor sends a request to a server to receive a response, in event-driven APIs, an event or a set of events triggers a response from a server. 
 
 

WebSockets in taxi booking systems

Modern logistics solutions are software-based and are generally hosted on the client’s server and almost all of them include real-time tracking of their fleet vehicles.
If we look at the above example, these different clients are different people around the world in their browser or app. They either enter a URL in their web browser or download the app to access their part of taxi booking system. Of all the person trying to access the system, John requests a taxi with the app.
