Mobility Sharing and Mobile Platform for Indonesian Trucking Companies

Transportation companies nowadays facing a situation where operation costs arise and low utilization that cause fierce competition between transportation companies and force them to run an efficient operation. On the other hand, transportation companies are also dealing with a challenge to provide a competitive advantage. The sharing economy concept especially mobility sharing can be used to handle this situation. This concept has grown over the past few years where one party shares their underutilized transportation asset to the other parties. This is a trust-to-trust activity that is based on the sharing of information, knowledge, and value co-creation to all parties involved. This paper proposed a modern mobility sharing model using information system where information and knowledge sharing occurs using a mobile platform. The proposed model and the information system in this paper allows transportation companies that are having an underutilized capacity of trucks to interact with the other companies and create economic activity directly and easily.
