Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the existing state and possibilities of using the option of shared driving in personal vehicles in the cities of Koprivnica and Križevci. Shared driving in personal vehicles, i.e. carpooling or ridesharing, represents one of the strategies of the so-called mobility management, i.e. transport demand management. The goal of the paper is to establish the existing state, possibilities and the potential of a greater use of carpooling in two largest cities in Koprivničko-Križevačka County according to the number of inhabitants (Koprivnica and Križevci). Data for the study were collected by surveying a group of citizens and potential future users of the carpooling system. The analysis of the application of the information-communication technology and services for the needs of connecting the carpooling system users represents an important segment of the paper. The target group are the active citizens, i.e. the employed citizens of both cities. The survey method provided the necessary opinions and attitudes, as well as trends and possibilities of using the information-communication technologies and services when using the carpooling option in the said cities. The contribution of the paper lies in establishing the users’ demands regarding the communication equipment, services and content for the needs of carpooling development as an alternative and sustainable way of transport.
