The diffusion mechanisms of dynamic ridesharing services

Spread like a virus. A model to assess the diffusion of dynamic ridesharing services

Dynamic ridesharing is a derivative of regular carpooling, which enables the formation of carpools on an as-needed basis, usually on very short notice the shared travel purpose also extends to a broad range of activities, beyond work or school. In this paper we propose a model to monitor the adoption of a dynamic ridesharing service, intended here as a mobile service that needs to achieve a cri...

In fact, even at a time when our improving communication systems provide real-time detailed information that could be used to facilitate ridesharing, the share of work trips that use ridesh...
