Car/Ride/Transit Sharing systems
Fleet sharing in the Bush: a real life system
Methodology
1. Analysis of a service provision business case study for three remote communities in Central Australia.
2. A transport simulation with estimated fleet management system costs, and a succinct evaluation of wider benefits.
