Abstract(in English) Sharing a car while commuting with others is called carpool. Recently, many carpool applications such as Uber and Lyft have been proposed to carpool with others. These carpool applications require high speed matching of each participant. However, the matching time between participants increases exponentially if a large number of passengers join in a carpool group. From this background, carpooling optimization problems which model carpool applications have already been proposed. The carpooling optimization problems are further classified into Many-Source Single-Destination, called MS-SD problem, and Many-Source Many-Destination, called MS-MD problem. To solve the carpooling optimization problems, we have already proposed searching method using grouping procedure that determines carpool groups of passengers for MSSD problems. However, we have not investigated the effectiveness of proposed method for the MSSD problem. In this study, we evaluate the proposed method for the MSSD and the MSMD problems. Numerical experiments show that our methods quickly find approximate solution for each carpooling optimization problem.
