Tech News 1: Making shared rides more sustainable: Introducing dynamic stop pooling

[bob_turner]

The transportation sector causes about one-fifth of all climate-damaging emissions in Germany. One promising approach to reduce the carbon footprint of the transport system is "shared mobility," i.e. sharing trips with similar routes as in a flexibilized and widely available shared cab (ride sharing). Such a service requires fewer vehicles and reduces emissions. However, the complex collective dynamics pose a challenge when predicting the efficiency and sustainability of ride-sharing systems. Standard...
