Abstract:

The WiSafeCar (Wireless Traffic Safety Network between Cars) project aims at increasing the performance and reliability of the wireless transport and to provide traffic safety improvements. Within the context of this project, we have designed a Dynamic Carpooling System that will optimize the transport utilization by the ride sharing among people who usually cover the same route. An initial prototype of the system has been developed by using NetLogo. The information obtained from this simulator will be used to study the functioning of the clearing services, the current business models and to propose new ones. The first results seem encouraging, and the users have many economical advantages thanks to the sharing of costs which allows the individuals to retrench expenses and to contribute to the use of green technologies.
