TI06: Shared Use Mobility and Dynamic Ridesharing

Definition:

This service package addresses the range of shared use mobility options that support a complete trip for travelers. This service supports planning, reservations, and on-trip guidance for these operations. The complete trip may be arranged and undertaken using an internet connected personal device. The service package includes temporary use of a vehicle or micromobility vehicle by the traveler as well as having a vehicle pick up the traveler at a specific location and take them to another location. This service package also addresses dynamic ridesharing/ride matching services to travelers. Dynamic ridesharing allows travelers to arrange carpool trips through a personal device with a wireless connection to a ride matching system (e.g., a web-based application). It uses inputs from both passengers and drivers pre-trip, during the trip, and post-trip . These inputs are then translated into “optimal” pairings between passengers and drivers to provide both with a convenient route between their two origin and destination locations. After the trip, information is provided back to the service package to improve the user’s experience for future trips.
