The Open Car Pooling Standard is a set of guidelines and specifications developed by the Norsk institutt for samkjøring (Norwegian Carpooling Embassy) to facilitate interoperability and consistency in carpooling platforms and services.
The Open Car Pooling Standard aims to provide a common framework for carpooling platforms, enabling seamless integration and communication between different systems. It defines data formats, protocols, and best practices to ensure compatibility and ease of use for both developers and users.
Key features of the Open Car Pooling Standard include:
- Standardized data formats for representing ride offers, requests, and user profiles.
- Protocols for authentication, authorization, and secure communication between platforms.
- Guidelines for implementing search, matching, and booking functionalities.
- Recommendations for user experience design and accessibility.
- Support for multi-language and multi-currency environments.
Adopting the Open Car Pooling Standard offers several benefits, including:
- Increased interoperability between carpooling platforms, allowing users to access a wider range of rides and services.
- Reduced development time and costs for platform providers, as they can leverage existing standards-compliant components and libraries.
- Enhanced user experience through consistent interfaces and seamless integration with other transportation services.
- Improved accessibility for individuals with diverse needs and preferences.
Contributions to the Open Car Pooling Standard are welcome from developers, organizations, and individuals interested in promoting sustainable transportation solutions. To participate, please visit the Open Car Pooling Standard GitHub repository.
