The Brazilian vehicle fleet has been growing year by year. This increase in the number of vehicles brings with it some problems, such as congestion and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. In almost all urban centers, parking outside private establishments is a difficult task, and the time spent on commuting is increasingly high. As an alternative to reduce the number of vehicles in circulation, the sharing of vehicles, as a kind of ride between people who make similar journeys, is gaining ground in urban centers around the world. With an eye on the financial and environmental benefits offered by this alternative, some companies are beginning to adhere to its use, groupingprofessionals who follow similar paths in groups that use the same vehicle. This work aims to seek ways to optimize the route that this group of professionals takes in each work cycle, mitigating vehicle maintenance costs and reducing fuel costs, which consequently reduces pollutant gas emissions. For customers, this can offer greater punctuality in the provision of the service and greater availability of professionals' time. At the end of the work, it is expected that an application will be developed thatperforms the route calculation in the best possible way, allowing its users to have a better use of time when using it.
