Distribution analysis and demand forecasting using taxi GPS data
The purpose of Research:In this research, we propose a demand prediction of a specific location(Tsukuba City) using the GPS taxi allocation history data for sales. The taxi delivery is based on the location recorded by the telephone receiver for the customer. We can also mine the GPS data to propose a taxi waiting for places and decide the number of waiting vehicles in each area, making efforts to improve the efficiency of the taxi business. Process of Research: 1.GPS data processing. Handling telephone reception, decide the starting position and the destination of the customer. 2.Evaluate the algorithm, do the investment about the recent progress about network structure and algorithms. 3.During the process of the experiment, we adjusted models and algorithms, evaluated accuracy and adequacy of the model. 4.Publish the result as the finish of our project.
