Abstract: Smart city relies on the smart transportation. And the smart savings on private car pooling based on internet of vehicles will greatly facilitate the expansion of smart transportation. The paper puts forward the smart savings scheme for private car pooling, establishes the dynamic relationship of human – vehicle – road during carpooling process basing on internet of vehicles. We applied the route recommendation technology, information matching technology, information notification technology, dynamic information searching technology and collaborative route optimization technology to the carpooling system to improve the real-time, accuracy and efficiency of carpooling process in uncertain dynamic demand market and realize the smart savings on private car pooling. Finally, we take an area of Huai’an as example to verify the feasibility of the program and technologies. The experimental results show that the carpooling program (TCP) increased 40% on the private car seat utilization, saved 30.7% on the total travel cost and 38.4% on total travel time than the other existing carpooling program (TECP).
