flinc Creates Dynamic RideSharing
PALM DESERT, Calif., March 22 -- DEMO -- As fuel and energy costs burden passengers' and drivers' bottom lines at DEMO2010 flinc introduces a real time dynamic ridesharing service providing a solution for drivers and passengers alike. The service can be used on smart phones or online, creating rides within seconds via an automated process.
flinc utilizes mobile phones' location based capabilities and navigational software to connect passengers and drivers, offering a customer to customer (C2C) interaction both for ride coordination and financial interaction. The system analyzes real-time traffic and brings riders and drivers together, eliminating the need for coordination methods such as phone calls, emails, or text messaging.
Passengers can identify available seats in cars belonging to drivers in their network and send a request to be picked up at their location. The driver, after confirming the pickup, receives instructions via the navigation software and arrives to pick up the passenger. In addition to the environmental value of minimizing energy usage, the driver gets paid for picking up the passenger through the flinc system, and the passenger saves money, avoids parking logistics and gains flexibility compared to public transportation. This process is automated, fast, and performed in real time.
Help flinc decide which market to drive into first, go to http://www.flinc.mobi, look for our Where's flinc project, select a place on the map where you want to see flinc and share a seat in your car or someone else's.
