Analysis of carpool commuting on slovenian motorways

The thesis is about carpool. Carpool is an arrangement whereby several participants travel together in one vehicle to the same or nearby destination. Advantages and disadvantages will be presented on some examples from the USA and Canada as well as different systems of carpool. Carpooling is increasing also in Europe and in Slovenia as well. Observations have been made along Slovenian motorways to record sites near motorways access, which are usually not regulated as parking lot, where cars are parked, while commuters continue their journey with other commuters. A survey has been made on some of these sites to achieve data from commuters, who already carpool every day. An additional survey has been distributed to random drivers in order to find people who like carpool as a way to commute every day and potential commuters who would be willing to share their ride with other commuters. Both survey results are presented. In the following section transportation modelling is treated. Special attention will be given to the prioritisation of high-occupancy vehicles. Carpool incentives are provided to encourage carpooling as well as arrangement proposals of sites near motorways access and improvements in order to develop carpool in Slovenia.
