Carpooling or Ridesharing is the need of the hour owing to increase in transportation cost, increased traffic congestion due to huge number of vehicles on road etc. Several attempts at proposing efficient ridesharing methods are being made by the researchers and Government authorities of several nations. Each method has its own advantage as well as disadvantage. How to group people who would car-pool is a problem of concern. Their source and destination would play a pivotal role. Knowing their preferred route in advance can be helpful. Now, if we consider the Carpooling problem as a part of a Smart City where any physical object is connected to the network through the Internet of Things (IoT) the problem can be dealt with a different perspective. A lot of work is already there where connected vehicles can communicate with each other through Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) or IOT(Internet of Things). Social Internet of Things (SIOT) deals with the concept that in addition to being smart, things are also social. It is a comparatively novel concept; some interesting works are being done regarding this field. Our article’s primary focus is to provide a review of the recent work regarding ridesharing and SIOT which will help us analyse these concepts and pave a path for future developments in this field.
