As part of the European Commission's DRIVE project, the CHARM'89 proposal [1] outlined the potential of a more efficient use of private automobiles for a number of transport and environmental policy objectives. To achieve this higher efficiency, two essential requirements were identified: The matching technology including communication devices on the one hand, and a system of incentives for drivers and riders on the other hand. In 2008, the CHARM'89 vision has been realised with the launch of the Carriva project at the Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) to implement an innovative mobile dynamic ridesharing system including electronic matching, communication, riders' payment and drivers' reimbursement. In all respects, the Carriva system proved its potentials successfully [2]. Based on a review of selected prior and current pilots and a detailed description of the Carriva system characteristics, the author develops a proposal to elaborate the substantiated technology as a next step towards the integration of Public Transport and Carpooling by focusing on incentives as the last missing element: The private car as an integrated part of Public Transport. The concept emphasizes the importance of ICT systems for sustainable transportation and climate protection.
