Vanpooling programs have recently generated interest as a mode of transporting people to and from work. The vanpooling service can help in decreasing transportation cost, solving parking problems, easing traffic congestion, reducing air pollution, etc. The implementation and success of a vanpooling program usually depends on the service schedule and economic considerations. Costs have been worked out such that each monthly payment covers all costs of acquiring, maintaining, operating, and replacement of the vans. This paper discusses the design, modeling, and simulation of a vanpooling service system. The paper covers the simulation program that was developed, and an application of this model. The study demonstrated that the cost per participant is approximately half the cost that is involved in private transportation.
