Optimum Allocation Method of Standby Taxi Vehicles at Taxi Stands
Abstract
There are two ways for a taxi company to get customers. One is to
deliver taxi for a telephone request, and the other is to get
customers on street. In previous research we researched
rearrangement method of the taxi drivers working hours so as to
operate many taxis with many telephone requests for the former
method. In this paper, we propose optimum allocation method of
standby taxi vehicles at taxi stands for the latter method. In order
to minimize the total mileage, fulfilling the taxi demand of all the
allocation and maximum number restriction of taxi stands, we
formulate this problem as Linear Programming problem. As a result of
numerical calculation, there are some improving points to change the
number of standby taxi vehicles at taxi stands, and it turned out
that total mileage may be reducible by 30%.
