Large-scale Microscopic Simulation of Taxi Services

摘要: The paper presents research on large-scale microscopic simulation of taxi services in Berlin based floating car data collected by the Taxi fleet, largest association Germany's capital. Firstly, Berlin's market is shortly described and demand supply obtained from FCD analysed. Secondly, online dispatching problem formulation for this specific case given, followed definition two real-time rule-based heuristics used to dispatch taxis dynamically within simulation. Finally, setup MATSim described, results with both are analysed compared terms performance, proving effectiveness second strategy at different scales.
