Ride Sharing

Project Title

Ride Sharing

Project Area of Specialization Shared EconomyProject Summary

Social-physical systems are distinguished by having thousands of distributed, goal?seeking agents, interacting at human time scales. A project to facilitate surface 
transportation is a very focused and useful starting point to explore social-physical 
systems.
RideNow uses cell phones and the internet to supporting integrated public transit and 
ridesharing. Two problems that must be solved are approximating the personal 
automobile’s convenience and changing peoples’ behavior.
Intellectual Merit
While the project has a pragmatic goal it challenges the state of the art in several 
disciplines and integrates their approaches.
Real-time control of spatio-temporal systems: RideNow will need a moving object 
database. It will use one of the research prototypes available or create its own, thereby 
providing a real-world assessment of the state of the art.
Relationship Models: Unlike the relationships sought through dating sites, RideNow 
will look for specific common activities that might be pursued for their own sake. 
Specification and matching of interests and personality will be done using indirect 
methods like collaborative filtering. The lasting contribution will be a testable predictor 
of successful relationships.
User Interfaces: The RideNow user interface challenge is not ease of use, but minimal 
cognitive and perceptual load for someone who is engaged in another activity: driving, 
working, walking, or dining. While such interfaces are available to pilots, RideNow’s 
must be easier to learn.
Behavioral Studies: RideNow will explore new methods of eliciting preferences for not 
yet existent transport options. Surveys will be eschewed in favor of direct measures and 
observations of behavior that might give a truer picture of future behavior.
Market Formation: A simple theory of how a market of buyers and sellers of rides grows 
from nothing to sustainability, and possibly to monopoly will be investigated.
Integration of Social and Technical Systems: Experience has shown that the so-called 
“hard” requirements of systems are easier to satisfy than the soft requirements related 
to human needs. This project will make these needs more concrete and evaluate their 
interaction with rational measures.
Broader Impacts
Congestion & Pollution: Ridesharing has the potential to reduce automobile traffic with 
no investment other than in information technology.
Productivity: Commuting is often considered wasted time. To make ridesharing 
attractive, RideNow must increase the business or personal value of that time.
Loneliness: The national decline in social capital has worried social scientists for many 
years. To succeed, RideNow must cultivate interpersonal trust.

Project Objectives

Benefits of the Project

Ridesharing conserves non-renewable energy resources!
According to DOE estimates for 2008, 70 percent of the oil used in the US is used to by the transportation sector and roughly forty-four percent was consumed by passenger cars and light trucks. In 2009, 51 percent of the oil used in the US was imported, down from 58 percent in 2007.

With more higher mileage models available in the market, Americans have been purchasing more fuel-efficient vehicles over the last several years, as the average fuel economy of new passenger cars has increased from 28.5 miles per gallon in 2000 to 33.7 miles per gallon in 2010, while over the same period the average fuel economy of new light duty trucks increased from 20.9 to 25.1 miles per gallon. According to US 2008 DOT/FHA Highway Statistics, the average mileage of passenger cars on the roads in 2008 was 22.4 miles per gallon while the average mileage for light trucks was 18.1 miles per gallon. Assuming a 50-mile round trip commute, two people ridesharing five days per week, 45 weeks per year would save 502 gallons of gas if the vehicle taken off the road was a passenger car, and 621 gallons would be conserved if the vehicle removed from the road was a light truck.

Ridesharing might save you some time!
If you have a long commute, say from Nassau County or Queens, you may find yourself frequently fighting heavy traffic on the LIE. If you rideshare, you can use the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane on the expressway.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. The passenger requests a ride by entering the corresponding details about the trip (e.g. pick-up and drop-off locations)
2. The trip fare is calculated up front based on a set of attributes from the system’s back end
3. The passenger will confirms trip details and accepts the cost of the ride
4. The passenger is matched with a nearby driver
5. The driver will receives an alert about the ride
6. The driver will checks the trip details and accepts or rejects them
7. The driver will meets the passenger and brings them to the destination point
8. Payment for the service is made automatically via a connected credit card or by cash
9. Once the trip is completed, the system prompts the driver and passenger to rate each other
