ABSTRACT 1 Carpooling is an effective strategy to mitigate congestion. By grouping more people into fewer 2 vehicles smartly, total travel distances can be reduced significantly. However, the effectiveness of 3 a carpooling system highly depends on the proportion of interested users that can be successfully 4 matched with each other and the amount of benefits individual users gain from these matches. 5 This paper develops analytical models to estimate these measures for a carpooling system that 6 serves a many-to-one demand pattern, in which travelers share the same basic destination but from 7 different origins. The models provide the expected match rate and average user surplus achieved as 8 a function of the network size, number of users, and travel costs. Different from other works, this 9 model considers the fact that carpool users would be willing to travel under cost-based detour limits 10 instead of fixed detour limits to create a match based on their origins and travel cost considerations. 11 The results are validated using simulation tests and also used to better understand how different 12 parameters might influence the overall performance of a carpooling system. 13 14
