FURTHER ANALYSIS OF DYNAMIC CAR POOLING POTENTIAL
Real-time ride sharing was analyzed previously by the authors for an extensive urban region of Sydney, using household travel survey data. Results showed that the technical viability of such schemes was highly dependent on the participation rate and the deviation that drivers were prepared to make from their own routes. This sensitivity is further analyzed in this paper using the same simulation model, but with revised data sets in order to improve the reliability of the results. A larger and more self-contained geographic region was analyzed, so that more than 1 million daily trips were simulated. A finer classification of the data was made, exploiting fields from the survey data that were not used in the previous study. Origins and destinations were generated in accordance with the population statistics of the transport zones and the purpose of the trip. Departure time statistics were quantified to 5-minute intervals throughout the day.
