Taxi has become an important component of public transportation system. A proper cabstand location can alleviate the traffic pressure. In this paper, a large set of global positioning system (GPS) data of taxi in Jinan City is employed to help locating the cabstand. By analyzing more than 300 million taxi driving data in Jinan, Shandong Province, the parallel K- means algorithm is applied on the cluster...
e accelerating urbanization procedure is pu ing increasing pres- sure on the management of cities. e administrative zones by which a city is managed are setup based on historical or political reasons, while the dynamics of people is hardly considered in the context. We exploit the widely available mobility data to divide the urban areas into zones by the joint K-mean clustering in origin and destination...
As an important mode of urban transportation, taxi is of considerable significance for the commuters. The taxi service stations are important for the efficient operations of taxis. Current approaches for the location optimization of taxi service stations are not well aligned with the actual demand. The present study uses the taxi GPS data to identify and extract actual service needs. Then based on...
With more and more citizens traveling for life or work at night, there is a big gap between the demands and supplies for public transportation service in China. In this paper, we address the problem of night-bus stop planning by investigating the characteristics of taxi GPS trajectories and transactions, rather than leveraging subjective and costly surveys about citizen mobility patterns. There are...
Complex networks have been used to model public transportation systems (PTS) considering the relationship between bus lines and bus stops. Previous works focused on statistically characterize either the whole network or their individual bus stops and lines. The present work focused on statistically characterize different regions of a city (Curitiba, Brazil) assuming that a passenger could easily access...
In the urban transportation system, the unbalanced relationship between taxi demand and the number of running taxis reduces the drivers' income and the levels of passengers' satisfaction. With the help of vehicular global positioning system (GPS) data, the taxi demand distribution of city can be analyzed to provide advice for drivers. A clustering algorithm called Density-Based Spatial Clustering...
A customized bus (CB) system is a new emerging public transportation that provides flexible demand-oriented transit services for city commuters. Existing CB systems encounter two challenges of 1) collecting travel demands and discovering travel patterns effectively and efficiently and 2) planning profitable bus lines based on travel patterns. In this paper, we propose a bus line planning framework,...
