D2.5 Recommendations and Criteria for a successful Ride-sharing in the IP4 Ecosystem

The deliverable describes the steps taken by RIDE2RAIL within Task 2.2, aiming to map the types of ride-sharing Travel Service Providers (TSP) and ride-sharing travellers, to define and analyse the criteria for ride-sharing, and to make reccomendations that will lead to the formulation of succesful ride-sharing systems in the IP4 ecosystem. The deliverable analyse the results of the conversational survey carried out by the project in EU27 and the UK capturing travellers’ and TSPs’ preferences when using ride-sharing with public transport. The survey allows this deliverable to develop binary logit models to explore and estimate the likelihood of using ride-sharing with public transport as a traveller and as a TSP. The provided criteria in this deliverable have the potential to enhance the ride-sharing application by developing algorithms that capture users’ needs and provide optimized ride-sharing services
