Abstract

See full text

A method is proposed for arranging, in a ride sharing system (100) providing a ride sharing service, ride sharing proposals (RSP) to users of the ride sharing service. The method comprises the following steps: determining candidate users groups each one comprising users potentially matching to share a ride; defining (115) a cost function (C) comprising, for each candidate users group, at least one term indicative of an impact on the users of the ride sharing service in case the ride sharing takes place among candidate users group, and at least one weighting coefficient (cu, ce, ct, cr) each one associated with a respective one of said at least one term; minimizing (125) the cost function (C) thereby obtaining ride sharing proposals (RSP) for the users; sending the ride sharing proposals (RSP) to the respective users; receiving by the users acceptance feedbacks indicative of acceptance or rejection of the ride sharing proposals, and dynamically varying (120, 200) a value of said at least one weighting coefficient (cu, ce, ct, cr) according to an acceptance rate of the ride sharing proposals (RSP) by the users.
