Annual Spring Festival, again to the Spring Festival. At the train station all night queuing and network "Crazy brush Screen" still a ticket difficult to find, with a stranger carpool home, has become the most recent years more and more people's choice. Recently, 12 students in Zhejiang, together with the design launched a "Turtle road network" of the carpool website, running more than 10 days to attract 2100 people registered, visible its popularity.

Compared with other modes of transportation, "carpool" can not only alleviate the public capacity, but also low carbon environmental protection, but from the management level, carpool whether from driving safety, or cost allocation, there is no uniform norms, easy to form hidden dangers. And such as "Turtle road network" Such a public service carpool website, can let this year's Spring Festival travel home to go more smoothly also remains to be seen.

How to calculate the cost of carpool

Reporter contacted the "Turtle road network" design team and the core character Tao, he told reporters, himself and some of the students home in Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and other fields, before every spring festival, will be a home train ticket "squeeze broken head." Last June, a few relatively good students together to discuss, whether to do a carpool website, the special issue of carpool information, so as to facilitate their own home, but also to help other students can not book tickets. Students can not book tickets, we launched a long-distance carpool. "The reason why the website called ' Turtle Road Network ', is because to see netizens jokingly:" The Spring Festival home ' homeward ' like ' Turtle Road ' as slow. Contact everyone anxious mood, we will be the name of the site as ' Turtle road network '. ”

"Turtle road Network" The entire team has 12 people, mostly in Zhejiang University mainly in Hangzhou University in the master's, doctoral students, respectively, from the computer, management, construction and other departments. The website has been planned and designed since last June and has been tested since September and is officially operational on the evening of January 14 this year. It has attracted more than 2,100 members since it was only half a month. The reporter in the homepage of the website to see, the registered user publishes the travel time and the route and so on the information unceasing real-time rolling, in addition to the route, also has "the driver" to "the passenger" the request, for instance does not forbid the smoking, does not have the pet and so on, proposed the carpool The website carries on the instruction to the carpool cost through its own calculation method. With a car 1 drivers plus 3 passengers, no highway charges, the price of each passenger is 0.16 yuan per kilometer, with highway charges, the price per passenger for 0.33 yuan per kilometer. Most of the fuel and highway charges are paid by 3 passengers. The driver is responsible for some of the fuel, travel expenses and the other half of the total cost of the trip. To this algorithm, from Beijing to Hangzhou round-trip distance of about 2600 kilometers, if not take the highway, 3 passengers per person only need 400 yuan or so. Compared to about 920 yuan of the two-seat train ticket, only 400 yuan to travel between Beijing and Hangzhou, saving half more than.

How to ensure the safety of carpool

Safety is the first issue for carpool. Because a lot of the car is spontaneous behavior, generally few people will take the initiative to buy insurance, once on the road accident, personal injury but can not get any compensation. In addition, once encountered "black driver", there is even the risk of robbery, extortion. "The driver of the general private car does not have a special qualification certificate for road passenger," said Yang Yanqing, deputy director of policy and Regulation Department of Hangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau. In the face of complex weather and road conditions, response to emergencies and emergency maintenance, not specially trained drivers of their ability to position often inaccurate, casually let others ride, there is a security risk.

"Turtle road Network" will be the first security issues, rather control the number of registered users, but also to ensure the safety of each carpool. "Tao told reporters, each in the Turtle network registered users, have to carry out real-name certification, to provide true names, ID number, and so on, but also to upload the real personal head." "Our team, there will be a person to the relevant information for manual audit, only the full data confirmed correct, in order to publish information on the Internet." In addition, in order to prevent possible disputes, we also recommend that you buy insurance such as seat insurance. ”

Like online shopping, after the two sides complete the carpool, you can also score each other on the Internet. "The foundation of the carpool success is trust." A positive or negative rating of others forms the basis of trust in the carpool community. If you carpool with someone, would you like to carpool again? If a driver fails to fulfill his obligations, such as the appointment of time without reason, we welcome passengers to leave a negative rating, and clearly specify the reason. A rating, whether it is negative, will always be associated with its personal information for other people to refer to. "Tao said.

How to improve the success rate of carpool

For "Turtle Road Net" in "first," after the next operation may face problems, Tao also has a sober understanding. "For the entire Spring Festival army, we are still too few registered users, so the difficulty of matching is very high, such as some students live in a relatively small county, may have been unable to find peers." Now, our matching success rate is about One-twentieth. In addition, the number of "drivers" who want to carry passengers is still less than the number of "passengers". "Next, we need to further expand the number of drivers, by contacting a number of caring organizations and many university alumni in the enterprise, so that the entire carpool network to expand." ”

At present, the Turtle network does not charge any fees. The initial investment of 50,000 yuan, is Tao and another core member, each member is unpaid work. But how will the future Web site survive? Tao said that at present has not taken into account the profitability issue, but if the policy allows, consider the expansion of the carpool to the local carpool, through mobile phones and networks can search real-time information, and gradually to other cities to promote. "From now on, our website is still at the beginning of the stage, hoping to get the government's guidance and attention." ”
