一些城市的公共交通系统在高峰时段出现超载情况。结果，车辆变得拥挤，常常导致通勤者无法上车。进一步提高峰值容量的成本非常高，甚至不可能；必须积极管理高峰需求。本文介绍了 INSINC，这是一个通过激励通勤者错峰出行来管理高峰需求的项目。它使用随机（类似抽奖）奖励、社会影响力（通勤者与他们的朋友进行比较）和个性化优惠来管理高峰需求。对参与者出行前后的分析表明，INSINC 能够经济高效地引导通勤者从高峰出行时间转向非高峰出行时间。
Public transit systems in several cities experience peak hour overloads. As a result vehicles are crowded, often to the extent that commuters cannot board them. It is very expensive or even impossible to further increase peak capacity; peak demand must be actively managed. This article describes INSINC, a project that manages peak demand by incentivizing commuters to travel off-peak. It uses random (raffle-like) rewards, social influence (commuters are compared to their friends), and personalized offers to manage peak demand. A before-and-after analysis of participants’ trips shows that INSINC cost-effectively induces commuters to shift from peak to off-peak travel times.
