Development of a Car Pooling

The definition of “Car pooling” is where two or more people who share the same journey origin and destination, decide to form a “crew” using a car owned by one of them to share the journey and parking costs. Even if the collective use of a car is a reality in many companies and organisations, it derives from spontaneous initiatives rather than organised initiatives, leading to modest results in terms of journey reductions. The realisation of an operative centre
equipped with specific software which manages databases and creates “ideal crews”, can be a strong incentive for the diffusion of the intelligent use of the private car.
