STATE OF THE ART REVIEW OF DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR RIDESHARING

This paper reviews and summarizes the techniques currently used in the estimation of ridesharing demand. The techniques have been grouped by the type of basic approach used: (1) techniques developed from consideration of the formation of ridesharing units. This category includes the estimation of area-wide ridesharing potential by estimation of possible matches and the identification of characteristics of the population that shares rides; (2) techniques which are classified as household travel decision models. These include utility maximization models and household travel decision simulations; (3) techniques concerned with high occupancy vehicle treatment effects on demand and supply for traffic equilibrium. Recommendations for further research are included.
