Abstract The Ride Points System (RPS) aims to leverage technological advancements (cellular, locationing, computer processing, etc.) and the popularity of customer loyalty programs to develop a successful ride sharing system that would positively affect traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. The primary objectives of this project were to: (i) develop a concept design for an efficient system based on the latest technologies; (ii) investigate the marketability and commercial opportunities of a loyalty points-based ride matching system; and (ii) evaluate the business case for the system. The project involved the completion of five major tasks: 1. A Literature Review involved an environmental scan of relevant technologies, the operation and marketing of ride sharing programs, and loyalty programs. 2. A Legal Review identified and examined potential legal issues with the overall RPS concept, including implications on automobile insurance and licensing, and safety and security. 3. A Concept Design included the definition of functional requirements, development of a high-level system architecture, and development of a theory of operations. 4. A Focus Group provided insight into the marketability and public acceptance of the RPS concept. 5. A Business Case indicated that, given a number of assumptions (widespread use of GPS/AGPS-equipped mobile devices, resolution of potential issues with automobile insurance, etc.), an RPS is financially viable over a 10-year horizon. 17.

Résumé Le système de points de voyage (SPV) mise sur les nouvelles technologies (téléphonie cellulaire, localisation, informatique, etc.) et sur la popularité des programmes de fidélisation des consommateurs pour offrir un système de covoiturage efficace, qui permettrait de réduire la congestion routière et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ce projet avait pour objectifs ce qui suit : (i) définir les principes de base d’un système de points de voyage efficace, fondé sur des technologies de pointe; (ii) évaluer les chances de succès commercial d’un système de covoiturage allié à un programme de fidélisation; (iii) effectuer une analyse de rentabilité du système. Le projet comportait les cinq tâches suivantes : 1. Recherche documentaire : survol des technologies pertinentes, analyse du mode de fonctionnement et de commercialisation des systèmes de covoiturage et des programmes de fidélisation des consommateurs. 2. Revue des aspects juridiques : examen des incidences juridiques que pourrait avoir un SPV, notamment sur l’assurance et l’immatriculation des véhicules, et sur la sécurité. 3. Avant-projet : définition des exigences fonctionnelles, élaboration d’une architecture de système de haut niveau et établissement des principes de fonctionnement. 4. Groupe de discussion : réunion de gens du public pour avoir une meilleure idée des chances du projet de SPV de recevoir un accueil favorable dans la population. 5. Analyse de rentabilité : cette analyse a confirmé la viabilité financière d’un SPV sur une période de 10 ans, selon un certain nombre d’hypothèses (grande popularité des appareils mobiles dotés de GPS/AGPS, résolution des problèmes éventuels d’assurance des véhicules, etc.). 17.

Through this research and development (R&D) project funded by Transport Canada, the study team explored the application of advanced technologies and leveraging customer loyalty programs to facilitate and promote an innovative dynamic ride matching system. Ride matching is one of a number of potential methods that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by increasing vehicle occupancy and decreasing traffic volume and congestion. This R&D project sought to study the technical feasibility and appropriate business model of a state-of-the-art ride matching prototype deployment: the Ride Points

  • The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada
    The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada Richard Elliott [email protected] THE EVOLVING ROLE OF COMPETITION ACT MERGER REVIEW IN THE TRANSPORT AND BROADCASTING SECTORS IN CANADA Richard Elliott* I. Introduction The Competition Act1 is a law of general application which applies, for the most part, equally across diverse sectors of the Canadian economy. In the area of merger review, the Commissioner of the Competition ("Commissioner") and her staff the Competition Bureau ("Bureau") have traditionally reviewed all mergers under the common analytical framework established in the Merger Enforcement Guidelines ("MEGs").2 This same framework has been applied irrespective of whether a merger was also subject to concurrent merger review by another regulator. This paper looks at recent developments regarding regulatory review of mergers in the transport and broadcasting sectors in Canada and discusses whether they are likely to have any impact on the Bureau's role in respect of such mergers. The principal development in the transport area has been the extension in June 2007 of the Canada Transportation Act ("CTA") merger review regime from airlines to all transport sectors.3 This provides for the possibility that the Minister of Transport and Cabinet, not the Competition Tribunal ("Tribunal") or the courts, will have the ultimate decision making authority over mergers, including competition aspects, in the transport sector. In the broadcast sector, recent Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") enforcement decisions and policy developments point to a focus on market concentration issues in a manner that may overlap with, although also diverge from, the reviewing role of the Bureau.
