On Predicting the Taxi-Passenger Demand: A Real-Time Approach

چکیده
Informed driving is becoming a key feature to increase the sustainability of taxi companies. Some recent works are exploring the data broadcasted by each vehicle to provide live information for decision making. In this paper, we propose a method to employ a learning model based on historical GPS data in a real-time environment. Our goal is to predict the spatiotemporal distribution of the Taxi-Passenger demand in a short time horizon. We did so by using learning concepts originally proposed to a well-known online algorithm: the perceptron [1]. The results were promising: we accomplished a satisfactory performance to output the next prediction using a short amount of resources.

1 Taxi is certainly the most popular type of on-demand transportation service in urban areas because taxi 2 dispatching systems offer more and better services in terms of shorter wait times and travel convenience. 3 However, a shortage of taxicabs has always been critical in many urban contexts especially during peak 4 hours and taxi has great potential to maximize its efficiency by employing s...
متن کاملReal-time Prediction of Taxi Demand Using Recurrent Neural Networks
Predicting taxi demand throughout a city can help to organize the taxi fleet and minimize the wait-time for passengers and drivers. In this paper, we propose a sequence learning model that can predict future taxi requests in each area of a city based on the recent demand and other relevant information. Remembering information from the past is critical here since taxi requests in the future are ...

With the advancement of urbanization, how to make the city taxi system efficiently operate is an important problem in public transportation. The traditional cruise or point-point type guest-looking ways lead to the waste of resources, high operation cost and long passengers' waiting time. This is because the information transmission between the taxi and passenger is not real-time. This paper im...
متن کاملA Method for Private Car Transportation Dispatching Based on a Passenger Demand Model
Although the demand for taxis is increasing rapidly with the soaring population in big cities, the number of taxis grows relatively slowly during these years. In this context, private transportation such as Uber is emerging as a flexible business model, supplementary to the regular form of taxis. At present, much work mainly focuses on the reduction or minimization of taxi cruising miles. Howev...
