Abstract: In India people mostly prefer road transportation to move around places. The increasing number of vehicle on road lead to several issues as congestion, environmental degradation and energy problems. Research and development have been progressively done in this field to reduce the environmental degradation and for the better utilization of fossil fuels. Different approaches and techniques to solve these issues emerged which address fields of emission reduction, increase efficiency of vehicle, energy alternative, decrease the road density with care of safety and comfort, etc. In this paper survey on these emerging drifts and elaborate on one of the ways to reduce the vehicular density and emission, we have identified carpooling as one such solution to provide user, flexibility in time, enjoyable, efficient and safe ride.
