Mobile Technologies Research - OpenRide

Video Explaining Service

This mobile service claims to use internet and mobile technologies to help hitch hikers get a ride by matching passenger users to driver users, helping to facilitate spontaneous shared rides that reduce the amount of vehicles on the road and their environmental impact.  First the driver maps out his/her route using a GPS map.  Then when a user searches for a ride, the service connects the users based on their preferences and a pickup point and dropoff point is mapped.
