Abstract

We introduce a ride-sharing concept for short distance travel within metropolitan areas which is designed to handle spontaneous ridesharing requests of prospective passengers with transport opportunities available on short call. The system has been designed as a multiagent system. We present a methodology to determine the feasibility of our ride-sharing approach for specific metropolitan areas and predefined operation requirements using multiagent-based simulation. Concrete experiments have been conducted for the city of Bremen, (Germany) in the FIPA-compliant multiagent-based simulation system PlaSMA.
