Communication—Car-Pooling and Regional Ridesharing Programs
这篇通讯回应了Leff和Robinson关于拼车系统中算法作用的辩论,指出存在算法可辅助共乘匹配,对研究拼车系统设计的学者有参考价值。
Professors Leff (Management Science, Vol. 25, No. 8 (1979), p. 810) and Robinson (Management Science, Vol. 26, No. 4 (1980), pp. 433–434) have raised an interesting debate regarding car pool systems, algorithms, and human problems. Professor Leff sees the use of increasingly refined algorithms as the solution to forming carpools. Dr. Robinson, on the other hand, sees algorithms as the least part of a successful carpool system. In answer to Dr. Leff's query, algorithms are available to assist in ridesharing matching.
