Abstract:
Since there is a great number of ride demands during the rush hour in major cities, passengers typically spend a lot of time waiting for the available taxis among the limited number of taxis. To address the issue, carpooling is a good way to reduce the waiting time of passengers. Most of the current taxi-sharing approaches have been proposed to deal with the taxi-sharing problem by utilizing traditional vehicles. In this paper, a dynamic taxi carpooling dispatching algorithm is developed in the connected vehicles environment to provide real-time taxi-sharing services. The approach schedules the proper taxis to provide the services for passengers based on the locations of taxis, the destinations of passengers, and the arranged destinations of taxis. The algorithm has been implemented and simulated by using the Simulation of Urban MObility simulator (SUMO). The results show that the algorithm improves the service rate of taxis, the empty car rate of taxis, the average waiting time of passengers, and the driving distance when taxis are serving passengers.
