Evaluation of Cruising Taxi Dispatching Taxi Operations in the Taipei Metropolitan Area
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common taxi operation service consists conventionally of cruising randomly around a city to search for passengers. Because of de-regulation policies, over-supply and high vacancy rates have caused inefficient operation and low performance in the taxi market. Therefore, this paper aims to create an innovative operational service and to evaluate the environmental benefits of this service as compared with conventional cruising services. It is shown that innovative dispatching service can result in 4.35 billion USD of energy savings per year in the Taipei metropolitan area. Numerical results have also shown other external effects of innovative dispatching services, including less air pollution, traffic accidents and traffic congestion. [Chi-Hsuan Wu, S. K.

The impact of rainfall on the temporal and spatial distribution of taxi passengers
This paper focuses on the impact of rainfall on the temporal and spatial distribution of taxi passengers. The main objective is to provide guidance for taxi scheduling on rainy days. To this end, we take the occupied and empty states of taxis as units of analysis. By matching a taxi's GPS data to its taximeter data, we can obtain the taxi's operational time and the taxi driver's income from eve...
متن کاملUnderstanding Taxi Drivers’ Multi-day Cruising Patterns
This study investigates taxi drivers’ multi-day cruising behaviours with GPS data collected in Shenzhen, China. By calculating the inter-daily variability of taxi drivers’ cruising behaviours, the multi-day cruising patterns are investigated. The impacts of learning feature and habitual feature on multiday cruising behaviours are determined. The results prove that there is variability among tax...
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...
متن کاملToward Large-Scale Agent Guidance in an Urban Taxi Service
Empty taxi cruising represents a wastage of resources in the context of urban taxi services. In this work, we seek to minimize such wastage. An analysis of a large trace of taxi operations reveals that the services’ inefficiency is caused by drivers’ greedy cruising behavior. We model the existing system as a continuous time Markov chain. To address the problem, we propose that each taxi be equ...
