Description
In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of companies working on improving or innovating transport services, or even developing new forms of transportation. Services like Uber and Lyft have caused a breakthrough in the industry over the past decade. Nevertheless, other regional players are seeking to compete with these companies by offering more tailored services. Such is our partner positioned in the solidarity transport market, the company COVIVO. It is a shared mobility company, providing citizens with many mobility solutions. There is one particular population stratum that still rarely uses these services: older people. The questions that naturally come to mind are: what prevents today’s older generation from using these mobility services? In this paper, we present some possible ways and results concerning this issue throughout a participative method ADInnov and complete it with a multi-agents system to match drivers and passengers profiles.
