%X In times of lacking natural resources and increasing environmental pollution at the same time, modern resource efficient kinds of personal transportation have to be considered. Ride-sharing is maybe one of the most economical ways to avouch permanent mobility without losing too much comfort. However, especially dynamic ride-sharing is laden with many resistances including a lack of security and a heavy scheduling and coordinating burden. Hence this paper introduces an implementation of a system for dynamic ride-sharing called vHike which should eliminate these barriers. With our demonstrator every interested participant may test whether or not such a system can be viable and effective.
