Ride pooling services are a customer-centric mode of transportation and environmentally friendly due to expected positive impacts regarding traffic congestion. A proposed analytical model can estimate traffic impacts of ride pooling on a city by using a shareability model and a macroscopic fundamental diagram for the network of consideration. Moreover, the analytical model presented investigates the impact that improving the average velocity of a city has on further increasing the percentage of shared trips in the operation area. The model can output the network's average velocity. For example, the average velocity in a city can be increased by up to 20% for the scenario when all the private vehicle trips are substituted with pooled vehicle trips. Operators and cities can use proposed concepts to quickly estimate traffic impacts of introducing a ride pooling service in a certain area and for a certain set of service quality parameters.
