Cooperative Transportation Campaigns: Carpools

Cooperative Transportation Campaigns.

Carpools.

Carpools campaigns are organised cooperative transportation campaigns amongst established families and friends. Beyond the historic conventional practises of co-workers and classmates, carpools campaigns are increasingly intentional and comprehensive campaigns that proficiently attend to the respective transportation needs of participants. Carpools campaigns involve many different types of groups, including families, friends, co-workers, classmates, religious congregations, neighbours, community organisations, labour unions and professional trade organisations, fraternities and sororities, and additionally. Particularly within large Carpools groups, participants can complete a monthly schedule survey that includes the basic transportation needs that each participant respectively maintains, including commuting to and from work, school, religious services, community and additional meetings, shopping, health appointments, entertainment excursions, and additionally. The information within this survey includes respective locations, times, and the flexibility of these engagements. This information is then compiled within a “carpool algorithm” that identifies the most proficient opportunities for carpooling amongst the participants, including suggestions for adjustments within the respective monthly schedules of participants for increasingly flexible engagements (such as scheduling shopping and additional errands, health appointments, entertainment excursions, and similarly flexible activities). Whilst UIFAN has yet to proficiently identify any specific computer software that currently provides such a formal “carpool algorithm,” such calculation can substantially be done simply through manual comparison of the information provided within the monthly schedule surveys; and anyone with such computer software is welcome to share such services with these UIFAN Carpools campaigns, as well.
