Congestion Relief: Commuter Presort

People who commute to the same vicinity need to be neighbors, for large-scale ride sharing to succeed. Expanding neighbor ride sharing aids congestion relief through increased vehicle occupancy at comparable travel time. Commuting is a daily sorting problem from source to destination, then later back again. Individual commuter sources and destinations are consistent, to a large extent. A presort can improve the efficiency of repetitious sorts, by improving order before the commute begins. To boost ride sharing opportunities, commuters who travel to the same location must live within the same neighborhoods – they need to become neighbors. By empowering this presort process, congestion relief goals are advanced.
