Abstract

The adoption of ridesharing principles, inspired by the Uber model, in road transport has presented a promising perspective for cost and time reduction. Particularly within the expanding urban transport networks, this concept has significantly enhanced passenger comfort. The implementation of an aggregator, a software program that gathers data from various sources and consolidates it based on user requirements or history, facilitates swift decision-making across different interfaces. This service model is employed in the context of rail-freight transport with ridesharing. The investigation aims to comprehend how an aggregator in rail-freight ridesharing can modernize freight operations, leading to cost and time savings and making the overall business model appealing to stakeholders.
