Abstract

CarPAcities provides a highly dynamic, easy to use, cost effective and safe approach to car sharing. It is designed to be tightly integrated into today’s mobile network infrastructure. The underlying model as well as an agent-based prototype implementation employing the Jini technology for service management are described throughout this paper. Simulation results underpin the effectiveness of CarPAcities.
