In theory, carpooling is still a good candidate to sketch an
ideal transportation mode, therefore why carpooling systems
work failed in practice are worth discussing. Base on the
above, this paper reviews and analyzes literatures and projects in terms of carpooling applications and further
designs a Social Community based Carpooling (SCC) model
with the feature of travel cost reduction for both supply and
demand sides. The remainder of this paper is organized as
follows. In the next section, literatures and works related to
carpooling are reviewed through a proposed CRS analysis
scheme. Section 3 introduces the SCC model including its
Travel Cost Reduction scheme and its operation process. The
last section concludes this paper and indicates future works.
