Newfangled Technique to Curtail Roadblocks

Technology has overtaken a lot nowadays. We do things manually but now technology has replaced everything to virtual. Likewise, currently one thing which is predominantly a big hassle and headache for all of us probably traffic congestion. Most of the metropolitan cities have an overflowing population and eventually land up with the heavy traffic. Handling the traffic during peak hours increases a lot of haste and it is tedious to deal with at that time. As we have found a solution for any issue with the help of technology even this problem can sort out through it. We have applications which can control and significantly cut down traffic congestions up to three-hundred percent. It’s actually cool that the carpooling applications can make our travel or ride in a relaxed manner without any tension.

Traffic congestions not just cause a mental pressure for the riders and the travelers but also an economic loss to the public and a constant nuisance to the environment. An analysis over this traffic jam and roadblocks was made and the report says that we lose about $160 billion per year over them and we almost spend about seven billion hours in our lifetime on an average whilst waiting for the red signals and an extra three billion amount of fuel is gone for waste over the traffic congestion. The economy depends on the expenditure of the people and the atmosphere depends upon how much the population is. So the traffic congestion over a city can relatively influence the economy and pollution of that surrounding.

A research over carpooling

The carpool application can mitigate even a heavy traffic. This was actually found by the scientists at MIT that the carpooling application can slash down the overall congestion about three-hundred percent and can avoid the need for taxis seventy-five percent at the most densely populated city Manhattan, New York. The city folks are much into the carpooling applications like UberPool, Lyft line and Via which basically make use of computer algorithms for its pick up and drop pertaining multiple commuters who adopts the same route. The idea is to lessen the traffic congestion by lessening the number of vehicles which ply on the same route separately. The transportation would also be easier and tension free if the people travel to reach the same destination board the same vehicle as one. So the students MIT’s Computer science and artificial laboratory (CSAIL) led by Professor Daniel Rus researched on this developing an algorithm which infers that three thousand cars which have the capacity to allow four passengers to travel in it is all enough for ninety-eight percent of the population at New York with a very minimal amount of average wait time.

The research says that the carpooling technique is an ideal one which can rapidly reduce the traffic congestions and eventually be slashing the pollution which is caused by it. This automatically leads to a city which is green and clean all the time. It says that if the ride-sharing concept gets accepted commonly by all then the fourteen thousand cars which run around the city can be around two thousand. The taxi ride can be initiated on request by the commuter and if he has no objection on traveling with a third person to the destination. The ride service sends even empty cars to locations in which a peak of incoming requests they get. This idea can enhance the service to speed up to twenty percent than before. This is for the first time that a research was taken over the trading of ride-sharing its waiting time, arrival time, the capacity of the vehicle, delay of the vehicle and others. They also commented that the carpooling idea is much suitable to autonomous cars as they can reroute the vehicle to the places wherein the incoming request is high. And that’s how an autonomous car has to work right?

An outlook of carpooling drift

The concept of carpooling exists since a long time but now the renowned form is more advantageous. The approach couldn’t reach the audience because of a few issues which were unavailable to rectify earlier. The issue was they found it a little bit difficult on determining the time of arrival and reach since the vehicle have to pick up passengers at different areas. And secondly, the application has another issue on rematching with the routes with the incoming request. The older algorithm was pretty confusing and made the job tedious.

The newer version developed by the researchers from MIT has come up with a sensible and sane algorithm aiding the organization with better and easier execution. The system creates a graph of all incoming requests from the passengers and later it creates another graph which is based on the possible combinations and routes the remaining cars going to run on. They work with the help of a method to compute the best assignments of vehicles taking the trips and the method is integer linear programming. With that method, the system allocation of trips is much easier than the earlier methods.

Benedictions after implementing carpooling in progress

Carpooling was basically recommended to avoid traffic by mingling the passengers who would travel to the same destination in one vehicle. The idea accomplished its focal point and motive but there are also a few benefits added to our surprise. Let’s have a deep dive into the other advantages the system has rendered to its folks.

Gradual decrease in anxieties over pull up in fuel price

The constant worry about anyone who travels through their own vehicle to office would be the value of petrol and fuels. The price of fuel would vary from day to day. Most of the time the fuel value goes up rather than lowering its value. Once in a blue moon, the value comes down and at that time we feel like we would redeem it for the coming week. But if we use the carpooling concept we can just spend half the expenditure we spend on fuels.

No need to look for parking lots

Its actually easy and reliable to afford a ride-sharing service than an own vehicle on daily basis. Every time when we are on our own vehicle we need to look for a space to park our vehicle in a safer location at the parking lot. Sometimes it’s annoying, so we can drift to this system rather.

Think from the aspect of global health

As the carpooling concept goes far reaching it would gratify the Mother Nature. Might sound funny, but yes! This plays a vital role, though. As the number of vehicles decreases eventually the pollution prevailing around the environment also decreases. The pollution causing vehicles are the only reasons for the smoky roads and unhealthy air at traffic congestions.

We can travel with fun

If we board a taxi with the system of carpooling, it is pretty obvious that we will get an idea to add up our colleagues and friends on the way along with us to the destination point. So even if we are stuck in traffic it’s not going to be a big deal because we don’t feel bored or irritated whilst we can just chit-chat with our friends.

Make it hassle free

Long drives in a lonely road during night hours might bring a lot of pleasure but it’s tedious to have a drive at peak hours that too with this heavy traffic congestion. Carpooling has set us away from those stress levels and make our ride tension free.
