Proposal of ride-sharing system using harmonic aggregation of user demands

In this paper, we propose a ride-sharing system with harmonic aggregation of user demands to support both human satisfaction and resource efficiency, and report results of the simulation of our proposed system showing the efficiency of our method. Our proposed ride-sharing system alters user action time and harmonically aggregates user transfer by using flexible parts of users' demands toward their actions. We built a demonstration system visualizing our future vision in which the proposed ride-sharing method was represented as one scenario. In this system, the ride-sharing will be implemented as the joining of several small personal vehicles. We performed our simulations with basic scenarios including part of the proposed method and obtained results showing that the ride-sharing system with our proposed method has four-times higher efficiency than that without the method.
