This paper presents a review of the different models developed for the taxicab problem. The
presented models are grouped in two categories, aggregated and equilibrium models. Each …

Traditionally, customers always hail empty-cruising taxis on streets, which may offer low
levels of comfort and efficiency especially during rush hours or rainy days. Thanks to the …

This paper proposes an equilibrium model to characterize the bilateral searching and
meeting between customers and taxis on road networks. A taxi driver searches or waits for a …

Smartphone-based taxi-hailing applications (apps) bring about significant changes to the
taxi market in recent years. As platforms that connect customers and taxi drivers, taxi-hailing …

Operation of on-demand services like taxis, dynamic ridesharing services, or vehicle sharing
depends significantly on the positioning of idle vehicles to anticipate future demand and …

This paper examines the effects of nonlinear fare structures in taxi markets using an
extended taxi model with an explicit consideration of perceived profitability. The expected …

This paper proposes a cell-based model to predict local customer-search movements of
vacant taxi drivers, which incorporates the modeling principles of the logit-based search …

Various taxi network models have been developed to investigate the consequences of
implementing taxi regulation policies. These models rely on logit-based taxi customer …

This paper introduces a model to analyze route choice behavior of taxi drivers for finding
next passenger in urban road network. Considering the situation of path overlapping …

In this paper, a two-stage modeling approach is proposed to predict vacant taxi movements
in searching for customers. The taxi movement problem is formulated into a two-stage model …
