“…As business ecosystems tend to be dynamic and context-specific, the use of data-based analysis is very important [36]. Usually, combined evaluation method can be more objective and suitable [37]. Therefore, synthetic evaluation models are developed to solve this kind of problems such as questionnaires, attitude scales and preference ranking method [38].…”

Introduction The taxi industry has boomed over the years, both in street-hail and dispatch market. However, few studies focus on comprehensive perspectives, which make decisions such as implementing regulative or incentive policies difficult. As an economic community working in the value-oriented process, the taxi industry requires a holistic performance evaluation to determine how to adapt strategies to survive and grow. Methods This paper proposed the concept BTaxi Industry Health degree^based on the theory of Business Ecosystem and the evaluation of its health. A four-layer criteria set is developed from aspects of robustness, productivity and sustainability, and weights are determined through Analytic Hierarchy Process. Results A synthetic evaluating model combining Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation and Artificial Neural Network is used to maintain the goal of multi-criteria decision-making. With the GPS and Taximeter dataset of taxicabs in the whole taxi industry in Wuxi, the model is applied to empirical studies. Conclusions This paper provides sensibility analysis on not only the company's order volatility, revenue growth and utilization of resources, but also influence on citizen's welfare, energy consumption and environmental pollution, which enables practical regulations and policies within taxi industry.

“…The dependence is constructed based on the statistical processing of the results. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is a generalized character that does not allow to describe the influence of specific factors on the efficiency of urban passenger transport.In [4], the author proposes to evaluate the efficiency of the routes due to a combination of two indicatorsefficiency and productivity.

IntroductionIn modern conditions of development of urban areas, acute problems acquire the issues of ensuring high-quality and safe mobility of the population. Effective way to ensure the mobility of the urban population in conditions of compliance with the requirements to reduce the negative consequences and ensure resource-saving is the spread of the use of urban public passenger transport (UPPT). The main condition for the formation of the population's priorities in the selection of the combination options based on the UPPT is its compliance with the social and marketing requirements they impose, which consist in the full and timely satisfaction of the requirements of passengers. An important element of the UPPT is transport transfer stations (TTS), which along with the highways of highspeed transport is the basic framework of the network. The state of the organization of technological processes in the TTS largely determines the conditions for using the UPPT potential and next to the task of stabilizing the movement of route transport along the street-road network is very relevant today. Dwell time of the vehicles in UPPT, which is necessary to provide landing and transshipment operations refers to the servicing functions and by its target character is unproductive. To a large extent, the situation is exacerbated by the absence of integrated regulation of the UPPT interaction in TTS, which leads to the emergence of conflict situations. Such situations are a source of reduced transport capacity, an increase in the travel time of passengers, the occurrence of road accidents and additional air pollution. Increasing the efficiency of the UPPT operation requires the use of sound technical and technological regularities in assessing the parameters of stabilizing the TTS operation and should take into account the principles of sustainable urban development.

For a period of time ( ) t , an input route arrives at each SP, which is determined by the arrival rate of vehicles and is characterized by the number of passengers in their cabin and the number of passengers leaving them at the SP. For each route, based on field observations, the average interval and the range of fluctuations in the arrival of the TS are determined. The presence of each vehicle in the SP is characterized by the moments of the beginning ( ) τ ar rs and the end of their dwell ( ), τ dp rs connected with the loading and unloading of passengers. During the corresponding period, a flow of transit passengers is formed in the SP, which makes transition between routes and the flow of passengers, co...
