BISEARCHINS-DRIVEN ECO-FRIENDLY HYBRID RIDESHARE SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT URBANTRANSPORTATION

Ridesharing is an essential component of sustainable and economical urban transportation, facilitating the sharing of vehicles among multiple users while reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions.Efficient scheduling remains a significant challenge in ensuring the widespread adoption of such systems.A hybrid ridesharing system has been developed that combines reliable route planning with dynamic user insertion to enhance urban mobility.The system focuses on two critical aspects: providing frequent users with predictable, prescheduled routes to minimize individual vehicle usage and enabling seamless integration of new users into ongoing shared trips.This approach reduces the effort required to search for rides, decreases waiting times, and maximizes vehicle occupancy.Group schedules and driver details are communicated promptly, ensuring effective coordination.Furthermore, vacant seats in vehicles during active trips can accommodate real-time user requests without disrupting preexisting schedules.To achieve this, an efficient insertion method, BiSearchIns, has been implemented to process shared trip queries with high responsiveness.The proposed system demonstrates the formation of ridesharing groups through offline scheduling and the real-time integration of dynamic requests, contributing to sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation practices.
