A METHOD FOR DETERMINING TAXI REASONABLE SCALE BASED ON FLOATING CAR DATA

摘要

After data preprocessing, map matching, data mining for Floating Car Data (FCD) of taxi, the taxi operation information could be obtained, such as single travel time, distance, and the paths. This paper puts forward a method to conform taxi reasonable scale combining the urban taxi need to urban taxi actual operating information, including taxi demand distribution and the operating characteristics such as the average operating speed, the average operating time, average trip distance, which were excavated from the FCD. Based on FCD data for Guangzhou taxi city, the method has been verified. The results show that the method can be used to calculate the urban taxi reasonable scale, which is useful to provide the scientific basic for taxi management and traffic planning.
