“…Researchers usually use virtual customer origin-destination demand patterns to analyze the taxi service model, which can refer to Arnott (1996) [7], Yang and Wong (1998) [8], Wong et al (2001) [20], Bian et al, (2007) [21], and Luo and Shi (2009) [9]. With the development of GPS hardware and communication technology, now we can collect taxi GPS traces data over longer periods than previous typical survey [16] and it also can provide more information in detail, such as trip length, travel time, and speed by time of day, which can assist researchers to validate the taxi service model.…”

The existing research outputs paid less attention to the relationship between land use and passenger demand, while the taxi drivers' searching behavior for different lengths of observation period has not been explored. This paper is based on taxi GPS trajectories data from Shenzhen to explore taxi driver's operation behavior and passengers' demand. The taxi GPS trajectories data covers 204 hours in Shenzhen, China, which includes the taxi license number, time, longitude, latitude, speed, and whether passengers are in the taxi vehicle, to track the passenger's pick-up and drop-off information. This paper focuses on these important topics: exploring the taxi driver operation behavior by the measurements of activity space and the connection between different activity spaces for different time duration; mainly focusing on eight traffic analysis zones (TAZs) of Shenzhen and exploring the customer's real-time origin and destination demands on a spatial-temporal distribution on weekdays and weekends; taxi station optimization based on the passenger demand and expected customer waiting time distribution. This research can be helpful for taxi drivers to search for a new passenger and passengers to more easily find a taxi's location.

“…They found an equilibrium taxi movement pattern through minimizing the sum of total vacant travel time. In Wong et al (2001), variable demand is incorporated and automobiles and taxies were considered together so as to simulate traffic congestion. Using the multi-modal framework, the model identified the equilibrium pattern of mixed traffic flows.…”

“…In the real world, the uncertainty associating with a destination is changeable with respect to driver's experience and one's main traveling area. However, Yang and Wong (1998), Wong et al (2001), Yang et al (2002), and Wong et al (2008) have used the same assumption besides Kim et al (2005) in which an agent-based cognitive learning process is used in order to reflect the travel experience level of taxi driver. In addition, modeling each taxi drivers heterogeneously needs huge memory in the simulation.…”

“…In Seoul, Korea, it was estimated that the total number of taxi trips was 3,513,851 per day (5.5 percents of total trips) in 2006. According to Wong et al (2001), taxies at least take 25% of the whole traffic stream in Hong Kong. In general, the daily driving distance of a taxi is quite longer than that of a private vehicle, so the impact of taxies on the urban traffic is much higher than their numerical portion.…”

An agent-based simulation model for analyzing the impact of asymmetric passenger demand on taxi service

In this study, a time-dependent agent-based taxi simulation model was developed. Modeling of taxi system is a complex task because it is dependent on the spatiotemporal pattern of passenger demand. However, the role of taxi as a public transport cannot be under-estimated in the urban area. Not only as a paratransit for the elder and disabled but also as a public transport for complementing the mass transit systems such as subways and arterial buses, a taxi conveys huge number of passengers every day. In this context, a practical modeling method for a taxi system was developed based on equilibrium philosophy and an agent-based simulation framework. In this study, the authors developed a simulation framework for the evaluation of taxi service for enhancing the quality of urban taxi transportation system. The developed model was tested with various passenger travel patterns, and a meaningful policy-related issue for improving the service performance of a taxi system was found for dealing with an asymmetric demand pattern.

Summary. The task of increase of traffic safety has got a special acuteness for large cities of Russia in connection with expansion of service of passengers of route taxis. In the paper results of research of technical operation's conditions of route taxis, qualifications and the experience of their drivers are resulted, and also some ways of increase of safety on city routing traffic are offered. ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ВЛИЯНИЯ ПАССАЖИРСКИХ ТРАНСПОРТНЫХ СРЕДСТВ МАЛОЙ ВМЕСТИМОСТИ НА РАБОТУ ТРАНСПОРТНОЙ СИСТЕМЫАннотация. Задачи повышения безопасности дорожного движения приобрели особую остроту для крупных городов Росси в связи с увеличением обслуживания пассажиров маршрутными такси. В данной работе проведён анализ условий технической эксплуатации маршрутных такси и стажа водителей и их квалификации, а также предложены некоторые пути увеличения безопасности на городских маршрутах.
