Influence of dynamic congestion with scheduling preferences on carpooling matching with heterogeneous users

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink

Carpooling is an efficient measure to fight car ownership and reduce vehicle kilometres travelled. By individuals sharing their commutes, vehicle occupancy increases and congestion is reduced. We develop a dynamic ADL (Arnott, de Palma, Lindsey)-Vickrey ap ...
