Abstract

Abstract: To reflect a systematic account of the impact online booking taxi and cruise taxi under the condition of information, the travelling mode choice of taxi passengers was researched. The influence factors of travelling mode choice of taxi passengers were analyzed and the time values related to passenger’s own characteristics were evaluated. The functions of waiting time of online booking taxi passengers and cruise taxi passengers were formed by investigating the difference of searching behavior. Through using simulation method, the priority for online booking taxi, cruise taxi and private cars was obtained .The results showed that the online booking taxis still occupied a certain market share even at the higher price and smaller fleet size than cruise taxis and kept lower empty rate. The simulation method can be used for discussing the effect of online booking taxis.

Key words: traffic engineering, taxi, travelling mode choice, online booking taxi, searching behavior, simulation
