Pooling or not Pooling: the role of matching cost on mixed mode equilibria and VMT
While various incentives have been provided to promote car-pooling, the share of car-pooling has remained flat over the years. In this project, the research team quantifies various factors that affect car-pooling in a measure called matching cost, and study how matching cost affects the commuting patterns in a mixed mode corridor with both drive-alone and various forms of car-pooling modes. Measures of commuting cost, Vehicle-Miles-Traveled (VMT), and equity will be obtained from the developed model to assess the effectiveness of various policies towards car-pooling.
