DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR RIDESHARING: STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW

The methods that are currently used to estimate demand for ridesharing for the work trip are reviewed. These techniques are categorized by the basic approach used, and models within each category are described, reviewed, and summarized. The first category consists of those techniques developed from the perspective of the formation of ridesharing units and includes the assessment of areawide ridesharing potential by estimation of possible matches and the identification of characteristics of the population that shares rides. The second category includes the techniques that view ridesharing as an individual or household decision. These include utility maximization models and household travel decision simulations. The third category includes those models concerned with estimating changes in ridership by various modes, including ridesharing, that result from the implementation of high-vehicle-occupancy treatments. These models consider demand and supply effects to obtain equilibrium traffic flows.
