Benefits of technology

The PCCS increases the likelihood of successful ride-sharing matches, reduces traffic congestion by increasing car capacity utilization, saves fuel, and decreases vehicular pollution, while providing flexible and secure transactions for users.

Problems solved by technology

As commonly experienced by any road user, private cars are causing traffic congestion by inefficiently using the limited road space—the cars are typically carrying only one to two commuters against a capacity of 5 or more (a low 20 to 40% capacity utilization).
