“…They found that users' main concerns were privacy, trust, and reliability of planning. More recently, Wang et al (2017) investigated the cost and benefits of ridesharing with friends through a study on travel demands in the Yarra Ranges (Australia). Their study revealed that limiting ridesharing to friends while rejecting strangers might reduce ride choices and increase detour distances but it does not generate significantly higher costs.…”

The rise of research into shared mobility systems reflects emerging challenges, such as rising traffic congestion, rising oil prices and rising environmental concern. The operations research community has turned towards more sharable and sustainable systems of transportation. Shared mobility systems can be collapsed into two main streams: those where people share rides and those where parcel transportation and people transportation are combined. This survey sets out to review recent research in this area, including different optimization approaches, and to provide guidelines and promising directions for future research. It makes a distinction between prearranged and real-time problem settings and their methods of solution, and also gives an overview of real-case applications relevant to the research area.

“…From the user perspective, scholars have found that the use of shared cars saves travel costs (Zhou et al 2017;D'Orey and Ferreira 2014;Regue, Masoud, and Recker 2016). Interestingly, carpooling with strangers does not significantly increase travel costs as compared to carpooling with acquaintances (Wang, Winter, and Ronald 2017). From the company perspective, found that the income of bike sharing systems is relative to GDP based on the dynamic programming model they proposed.…”

Shared transportation is playing an increasingly important role in sustainable urban transportation planning and control. Because it significantly affects people's daily life, socioeconomic development, and the environment, shared transportation has attracted attention from scholars and practitioners alike. For the former, the large number of articles published on the topic reveals the growing interest. Of interest are the articles that focus on travel behaviours, user characteristics, and social-economic impacts of shared transportation. Herein, we review 356 peer-reviewed articles on the topic that were published between January 2003 and September 2017. We employ a bibliometric method to investigate the overall characteristics, research methodology, research highlights, and research areas of these articles. Our analysis explores and discusses user travel behaviours, traffic satisfaction, key determinants, impact, development planning, and policies. Finally, we provide a detailed discussion on the future research challenges and new research directions for shared transportation.

“…In an accelerating production function, successive contributions generate progressively larger payoffs, thus making additional contributions more likely" (Markus, 1987, p. 496). Theoretical and empirical evaluations have confirmed the role of motivated early adopters with a supportive community (Markus, 1987;Patterson & Kavanaugh, 2001), high-level endorsement of use of the new ICT platform (Evans-Cowley & Griffin, 2012), and the benefits of spatial proximity and friendships with ridesharers (Wang et al 2017).…”

Big changes in technology create big opportunities for sustainability. Decreasing the number of cars on the road through carpooling can mitigate many problems related to transportation, including traffic congestion, emissions, and safety. Mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) provide communicative and financial capabilities, termed affordances; to make carpooling much more convenient. However, research has yet to distinguish the role of affordances in reaching a critical mass of drivers. This chapter showcases empirical results from an in-depth study of a carpooling app, coupled with an innovative policy pilot to provide toll road discounts for carpool trips registered with the program. Results from the pilot countered with a for-profit model suggest drivers require sufficient reimbursement for travel costs and coordination time, to reach a critical mass needed to support a competitive travel option. However, recruitment tactics such as paid and organic media coverage, face-to-face events and incentives, and driver-focused outreach support growth of the carpool system registration, and use. Additional studies are needed to evaluate different combinations of ridesharing affordances and transportation policies to determine whether communities can realize the benefits of a critical mass of ICT-supported carpooling.
