6.4 - Manage Ridesharing
This page shows the collection of processes that make up the Manage Ridesharing facility within the Provide Driver and Traveler Services function. These processes enable travelers whose destinations and time of travel match to share rides for some or their entire trip.
The key points about the facility are as follows:
- Travelers are matched to share transport (private car or van) for as much of their trip as possible;
- Travelers must specify the time of day, source and destination of their trip;
- Travelers may also specify any preferences or constraints on the rideshare arrangement;
- Once a rideshare is confirmed, the traveler may make a payment to the service (if required).
There are four processes defined as Process Specifications (PSpecs) in this collection:
1) Screen Rider Requests (6.4.1)
2) Match Rider and Provider (6.4.2)
3) Report Ride Match Results to Requestor (6.4.3)
4) Confirm Traveler Rideshare Request (6.4.4)
