Shared-Ride Pooling Engine
Same-direction bookings grouped inside a time window, sequenced furthest-stop-first, capped by seats, luggage and accessibility — every run still waits for a dispatcher to confirm

Pooling rules
Change a rule and the suggested runs below rebuild instantly — this is how you model your own corridors before you go live.
Same direction only
Never pool a northbound pickup with a southbound one.
What the engine checks, in order
- 1Anchor time — flight arrival or requested departure, inside the window
- 2Direction — corridor must match, so the van never doubles back
- 3Vehicle fit — seats, luggage bays, child seats and wheelchair access
- 4Detour cost — extra minutes the added pickup puts on the run
- 5Stop order — furthest pickup first, so the van fills toward the airport
- 6Minimum viable load — a run under the floor is held, not dispatched
Private-vehicle jobs are never pooled. They appear on dispatch as single-van runs.
