Zhu Jin, Zhu Xiaofeng

Keywords: Carpool; Development History; Literature Review; Discussion

Abstract:

The growing number of private cars in China has exerted pressure on urban transportation. Carpool and carsharing have proved to be effective measures to reduce car trips through individual behavior change in western countries, which can be regarded as Pareto Improvement. This paper sorts out the origin, development history and characteristics of carpool and carsharing in Europe and North America. The literature review mainly focuses on the benefits, the characteristics of people who had participated in and the driving factors. Then we discuss the difficulty of the implementation in China from the view of different cultural concept, legal deficiencies, safety, insurance, etc. At last, some further discussion is summarized toward the end of the artide.
