Optimizing taxiing with detours by using traffic dynamics and driving habits

Published: 12 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Traffic jams in cities decrease the efficiency of taxiing, thus lower the profit of per unit time of taxi drivers. This paper proposes an app running on drivers' smartphones that recommends detour routes in order to optimize the taxiing performance. We formulate the problem to maximize the profit of a driver with constraints on charging the passenger according to the normal route, and saving the taxiing time. Considering the driving habits, we propose a solution to search the optimal route based on the information of the traffic dynamics and fuel consumption estimation.
