For several years, the government has relied on carpooling to fight pollution. More than 85% of motorists drive alone in their car in the morning, according to a study published Tuesday by the motorway manager Vinci, which analyzed data provided by cameras on its motorways. Out of a million vehicles analyzed between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., when leaving for work, only 14.8% carried more than one person. This rate of " autosolism " is 87% between 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. then


More than 85% of motorists drive alone in their car in the morning, according to a study published Tuesday by the motorway manager Vinci, which analyzed data provided by cameras on its motorways.

Out of a million vehicles analyzed between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., when leaving for work, only 14.8% carried more than one person.

This rate of "

autosolism

" is 87% between 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. then begins to decrease to reach 79% at 10:00 a.m.

This second barometer published by Vinci results from the analysis of traffic between May and June 2022 on motorways near eleven major French cities.

"

Autosolism

" increased sharply in the spring in certain areas compared to Vinci's first analyzes in the fall of 2021. The share of drivers alone in their car reached 98.6% on the A11 motorway near Nantes (+ 5.4%) and 81.5% on the A10 south of Paris (+9.2%).

Fight against “

autosolism

The fight against "

autosolism

", particularly via carpooling, is an important way to limit traffic and therefore air pollution.

We are convinced that shared mobility can be used in commuting: it is up to all mobility players, operators, communities, the State, travel associations, to consult together and provide concrete solutions

”, emphasizes Amélia Rung, Development Director of VINCI Autoroutes.

Motorways represent 1% of the French road network, but 30% of the distances traveled and 25% of CO2 emissions from transport, according to the Road Union.

Vinci, which markets its counting solution via its subsidiary Cyclope.ai, plans to publish two updates to its barometer per year.
