Carpooling is currently getting more and more attractive thanks both to an increasing emphasis placed on environmental issues and to the huge use of web based social networks. They indeed (1) allow to spread all information for an effective service (2) compensate the lack of confidence among carpooling users (3) promote carpooling companies via viral marketing (4) act as a basis for trust based users recommendation system. CORSA is an open source solution for a real time ride sharing (RTRS) carpooling service, with high accessibility, high usability, and effectiveness and efficiency in finding a riding solution for users. This proposal also endorses the role of social networks using a virtual credits reward mechanism.

Abstract
Carpooling is currently getting more and more attractive thanks both to an increasing emphasis placed on environmental issues and to the huge use of web based social networks. They indeed (1) allow to spread all information for an effective service (2) compensate the lack of confidence among carpooling users (3) promote carpooling companies via viral marketing (4) act as a basis for trust based users recommendation system. CORSA is an open source solution for a real time ride sharing (RTRS) carpooling service, with high accessibility, high usability, and effectiveness and efficiency in finding a riding solution for users. This proposal also endorses the role of social networks using a virtual credits reward mechanism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
