  Drivers offering spare seats in their vehicles on long-distance (interurban)
trips often have to pick up or drop off passengers in cities en route. In that
case it is necessary to agree on a meeting point. Often, this is done by
proposing well-known locations like train stations, which frequently induces
unnecessary detours through the inner-city districts. In contrast, meeting
points in the vicinity of motorways and arterial roads with good public
transport connection can reduce driving time and mileage. This work proposes a
location-based approach to enable a fast and automatic recommendation of
suitable pick-up (and drop-off) points for drivers and passengers using a GIS
workflow and comprehensive precomputation of travel times.
