Application of the Internet of Things Concept in Carsharing System

This paper analyzes the possible application of the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) in the traffic environment based on the example of the carpooling/ridesharing system with the use of a private vehicle – the carsharing model. The research has been conducted by surveying and interviewing traffic system participants (i.e. users) who frequently use modern communication devices, technologies, and services. Targeted users are familiar with the issues of the carpooling/ridesharing system. Based on the research analysis results, it is possible to identify the factors of the potential application of the IoT solutions in the development of carsharing model.
