Abstract
This chapter describes a service-based approach to dynamic ridesharing based on the smart space concept. Ridesharing is the shared use of a car by a driver and one or more passengers. Dynamic ridesharing supposes dynamic formation of carpools depending on the current situation. The approach uses a set of open-source applications for routing and visualization of joint trips based on the OpenStreetMap platform. An open-source Smart-M3 information platform is utilized as an information fusion infrastructure, which acquires information about the current situation from ridesharing participants and other services. One possible use of the presented service is supporting tourists in a certain region.
