Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamic transportation pooling are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes determining vehicle-sharing user preferences attributed to each of multiple users; identifying vehicle-sharing opportunities involving two or more of the users riding in two or more vehicles, wherein each of the identified vehicle-sharing opportunities comprises (i) a location wherein at least one of the users exits a first of the vehicles and enters a second of the vehicles, wherein the location comprises a vehicle demand that exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and (ii) a temporal range until the vehicles will reach the location, and wherein said identifying is based on the vehicle-sharing user preferences attributed to each of the users, the current location of each of the vehicles, the destination of each of the vehicles, and traffic information; and outputting each of the vehicle-sharing opportunities to a mobile device of each of the users.
