Abstract

Taxi sharing is an emerging transportation arrangement that helps improve the passengers’ travel efficiency and reduce costs. This study analyzes the simulations for an urban taxi sharing system on routes and passengers. Considering the impact of different congestion levels, the relationships between the congestion and cost are analyzed. Under the constraints of the number of passengers and their own time windows, the simulation analysis is performed on passengers. According to the optimal strategy, different passengers are arranged into the same taxi to realize the taxi sharing. Due to the reasonable vehicle route planning and passenger combination, these can effectively alleviate the traffic congestion, save the driving time, reduce the taxi no-load rate, and save the driving distance. At last, a simulation with numerical experiments is used to demonstrate the proposed method.
