Title
vHike - A Dynamic Ride-Sharing Service for Smartphones
Abstract
In times of lacking natural resources and increasing environmental pollution at the same time, modern resource efficient kinds of personal transportation have to be considered. Ride-sharing is maybe one of the most economical ways to avouch permanent mobility without losing too much comfort. However, especially dynamic ride-sharing is laden with many resistances including a lack of security and a heavy scheduling and coordinating burden. Hence this paper introduces an implementation of a system for dynamic ride-sharing called vHike which should eliminate these barriers. With our demonstrator every interested participant may test whether or not such a system can be viable and effective.
