Smart space logistic service for real-time ridesharing

Abstract

The paper describes a logistic service-based approach to real-time ridesharing based on smartspace concept. Smart-M3 information platform is used as smart space infrastructure for presented approach. The service is based on Smart-M3 RDF ontology which is formed by ontology slices of participants' mobile devices. The paper presents an algorithm for finding appropriate fellow- travelers for drivers as well as definition of acceptable pick-up and drop-off points for them.
