Abstract
Techniques for allocating drivers and passengers sharing a trip. The techniques may include a trip sharing service comprising receiving a first service request; specifying a first potential trip data object by the trip sharing service and executing a matching method. Matching may include checking a first potential trip data object against at least a second potential trip data object. Matching may further include comparing the specifications of the first potential trip data object with the specifications of the at least one second potential trip data object, determining the degree of congruency of the specifications of the compared potential trip data objects, assigning one role to a first and a second user, and adding the second potential trip data object to a result list in case the determined degree of congruency between the first and the second potential trip data object exceeds a predefined threshold.
