“…An assessment survey in Portugal by Correia and Viegas [128] revealed that carpooling systems can potentially reduce the number of private vehicles in urban cities. This is due to common work schedules and activity sectors of the potential participants [129]. Therefore, a high-level application of carpooling is currently commonly found in manufacturing, construction, and other less readily accessible areas.…”

Driving Behaviour and Sustainable Mobility—Policies and Approaches Revisited

Climate change is receiving increasing attention in recent years. The transportation sector contributes substantially to increased fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality, which imposes a serious respiratory health hazard. Road transport has made a significant contribution to this effect. Consequently, many countries have attempted to mitigate climate change using various strategies. This study analysed and compared the number of policies and other approaches necessary to achieve reduced fuel consumption and carbon emission. Frequency aggregation indicates that the mitigation policies associated with driving behaviours adopted to curtail this consumption and decrease hazardous emissions, as well as a safety enhancement. Furthermore, car-sharing/carpooling was the least investigated approach to establish its influence on mitigation of climate change. Additionally, the influence of such driving behaviours as acceleration/deceleration and the compliance to speed limits on each approach was discussed. Other driving behaviours, such as gear shifting, compliance to traffic laws, choice of route, and idling and braking style, were also discussed. Likewise, the influence of aggression, anxiety, and motivation on driving behaviour of motorists was highlighted. The research determined that driving behaviours can lead to new adaptive driving behaviours and, thus, cause a significant decrease of vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.

“…Although the real scale of car-pooling is still unknown (due to informal forms of car-pooling based on networks of family or friends, often defined as "informal forms of ride-sharing"), it could play an important role in commuting, especially from rural and less dense urban areas. The development of car-pooling forms in areas that are characterized by a high level of public transport supply could be counterproductive from the perspective of public finances and the environment [22,84].…”

“…In contrast, car sharing refers in this work to settings where two or more travellers share one vehicle at various times of the day, however, not simultaneously. Most trip sharing concepts deal with the transport of customers, however, little work is found on organised trip sharing provided by employers, with the exception of commuter carpools to and from work, which have been studied widely (e.g., Wartick 1980;Teal 1987;Ferguson 1997;Vanoutrive et al 2012). For HHC services, due to high complexity of operations, social importance and current challenges such as limited availability of parking spaces and stricter environmental regulations, numerical evaluations of trip and car sharing concepts are, as a consequence, of interest.…”

Routing and scheduling of home health care services usually focuses on the case where each nurse operates a separate vehicle. With increasing urbanisation, limited availability of parking spaces and stricter environmental regulations, service providers are starting to investigate car and trip sharing concepts as potential alternatives. This paper numerically investigates a car sharing concept as well as operating a transport system, which delivers and picks up nurses to and from clients combined with the additional option of walking. Different geographic distributions are investigated to identify beneficial settings for successful implementation considering various objectives of decision makers. The evaluation shows that trip sharing performs best if long service durations exist, long delays for parking occur and in areas where clients are both geographically distributed randomly and in clusters. Additionally, facilitating walking as well as trip or car sharing reduces the number of required vehicles substantially. Nevertheless, for walking and trip sharing, travel durations are prone to increase compared to classical planning approaches.
