THE NBS COMPUTERIZED CARPOOL MATCHING SYSTEM: USERS' GUIDE

The report includes flowcharts, input/output formats, and program listings for the programs, plus details of the manual process for coordinate coding. The matching program produces, for each person desiring it, a list of others residing within a pre-specified distance of him, and is thus applicable to a single work destination having primarily one work schedule. The system is currently operational on the National Bureau of Standards' UNIVAC 1108 computer and was run in March of 1974, producing lists for about 950 employees in less than four minutes computer time. Subsequent maintenance of the system will be carried out by the NBS Management and Organization Division.
