“…This finding is opposite with prior research, which found that men are less likely than women to use carpooling services [39]. A study conducted in Turkey shows that women and regular campus travelers are more likely to use carpooling [40]. The occupation variable is a positive significant factor for carpooling in Karachi, which indicates that employed people were more likely to use carpooling for their travel purposes.…”

Transportation accounts for more than a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. Carpooling is a subset of the sharing economy, in which individuals share their vehicle with commuters to save travel expenses. In recent decades, carpooling has been promoted as a feasible alternative to car ownership with the potential to alleviate traffic congestion, parking demand, and environmental problems. Unstable economic conditions, cultural norms, and lack of infrastructure make cultural exchange activities and mobility habits different in developing nations to those in developed countries. The rapid evolution of sharing mobility has reshaped travelers’ behavior and created a dire need to determine the travel patterns of commuters living in megacities in developing countries. To obtain data, a web-based stated choice (SC) experiment was used in this study. It used mode-related variables, socioeconomic demographic variables, and a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) precautionary measure variable. Logit models, namely the mixed logit regression model (ML) and the multinomial logit regression model (MNL), were applied to analyze the available data. According to modeling and survey data, economic variables associated with modes of transport, such as trip time and trip cost, were determined to be significant. Additionally, the results revealed that commuters were more conscious of COVID-19 preventive measures, which was determined to be highly significant. The findings showed that the majority of residents in the COVID-19 pandemic continue to rely on automobiles and motorcycles. It is noteworthy that individuals with more than two members in their family and a travel distance of less than seven miles were more likely to prefer a carpooling service. This study’s findings will provide a basis for researchers to aid existing operators in the field of transportation, as well as offer guidelines for governments in developing countries to enhance the utility of transportation networks.

This paper analyses, on the light of the Brazilian legislation, the individual transport legal issues derived by the entrance of the ride-hailing companies into the market. The legal problem of ridesourcing services revolves around determining its nature as public or private. Regarding this, changes in the current legislation have being proposed to characterize the service as illegal or legal and to force the delimitations of its operation before the transport network of each municipality. In addition, this paper analyses socio demographic and travel characteristics of the Brazilian ridesourcing demand. Based on this demand point of view, a logistic regression model was generated to predict the probability of riderspliting system use. The results show that the majority of ridesourcing trips is replacing taxi and public transport trips. According to the logistic regression model, safety is the main reason that influences the decision of sharing trips via ridespliting. The other relevant factors are directly or indirectly related to service cost. The use of larger vehicles for sharing trips can become a competitive mode for public transport and generate a greater clash between public transport and ridesourcing companies than the one between the taxi industry and technology companies.

“…A questão da divisão de custo não faz parte do modelo inal. Sendo assim, os respondentes se mostram dispostos a usar carona independente da renda, como igualmente concluıdo por Tezcan (2016). Desse modo, seria mais atrativo propor uma remuneração através de bônus/descontos para utilização de serviços de empresas patrocinadoras do sistema, do que a divisão de custo propriamente dita.…”

Fatores influentes para a adesão de alunos a sistema de carona dinâmica em campus universitário

Este artigo objetiva a investigação dos fatores que influenciam a oferta de carona por alunos do Campus Recife da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Investigam-se os critérios relevantes para a adesão a um hipotético sistema dinâmico de caronas. São ainda sugeridas medidas mais eficazes para ampliação do uso dessa alternativa de transporte. O método de análise utilizado foi a Regressão Logística. Os resultados obtidos mostram que fatores mutáveis, inerentes ao arranjo da carona, e psicológicos estão relacionados ao modo dinâmico. Enquanto o único critério fixo que afeta a probabilidade de uso do sistema proposto é o sexo do usuário, seis critérios intrínsecos do próprio sistema apresentam-se significativos: i) perfil do usuário; ii) possibilidade de ser passageiro através do sistema; iii) questões ambientais; iv) maior interação social; v) redução da flexibilidade; e vi) compartilhar viagens com desconhecidos. Conclui-se que o uso da carona pode ser aumentado a partir de sistemas de caronas dinâmicas. Além disso, junto às plataformas de conexão, é importante que sejam adotadas políticas de caráter informativo e educacional.
