Taxis and trip requests are dynamically matched. A taxi can have more than one customer on board given that all waiting time and service time constraints of trips are satisfied. The system analyzer shows average waiting time, average detour percentage, average response time, and average level of sharing. Taxis, routes, and requests will be animated and visualized through Google Maps API. The demo is based on trips of 17,000 Shanghai taxis for one day (May 29, 2009); the dataset contains 432,327 trips. Each trip includes the starting and destination coordinates and the start time. An iPhone application is implemented to allow users to submit a trip request to the Noah system during the demonstration.nick pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030713327322011405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099702607330311917.post-55224351316885527572013-10-03T03:09:53.526-07:002013-10-03T03:09:53.526-07:00It's nice that you don't have to end your ...It's nice that you don't have to end your trip where you start, using Car2go. <br /><br />I'd like to see a system that facilitates random ridesharing with strangers to increase passenger miles per gallon, or erg.nick pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030713327322011405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099702607330311917.post-60046552313206101412013-10-03T02:11:21.431-07:002013-10-03T02:11:21.431-07:00Car2go is a fantastic business model here in Denve...Car2go is a fantastic business model here in DenverKevin Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116311693621338347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099702607330311917.post-19723142766413529872013-10-02T08:38:11.587-07:002013-10-02T08:38:11.587-07:00Nathan Hurst says pink moustaches are popular in S...Nathan Hurst says pink moustaches are popular in Seattle...<br /><br />http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/09/my-life-as-a-high-tech-part-time-not-quite-taxi-driver/<br /><br />Nicknick pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030713327322011405noreply@blogger.com
