Title: Dynamic Ridesharing for Livable Communities
Abstract: There have been many attempts to implement dynamic ridesharing projects over the past 15 years, most with very limited success. The Avego Project at University College Cork (UCC), in Ireland, provides greater potential by leveraging the advent of location intelligent consumer mobile phones to provide a marketplace for drivers to offer their empty seats to riders in real time. By pricing seats based on mileage, drivers are incentivized to carpool, and passengers are provided an affordable transportation option. Based on preliminary results from UCC, as well as evidence from past dynamic ridesharing projects, this paper presents 5 critical success factors for the successful design and implementation of a community-based dynamic ridesharing project.
