Most of the available approaches and systems are route oriented, where driver and passengers are matched when the destination location is the same. ComeWithMe offers a new perspective: the destination is the intended activity instead of a location. This novel matching method is aimed to boost the possibilities of rides if passenger reaches a different location maintaining the activity. We conducted experiments using a real data set of trajectories and our results showed that the proposed matching algorithm improved the traditional carpooling approach in more than 80\%.}, doi = {10.1109/itsc.2015.414}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/itsc.2015.414}, author = {Vinicius Monteiro de Lira and Val{\'e}ria Ces{\'a}rio Times and Chiara Renso and S Rinzivillo} }
