To estimate a proper fleet size of taxi, a daily archived tachograph was analyzed for both corporate taxi and owner-driver taxi. Mathematical model to estimate a desirable number of taxi was developed using city's characteristics of Pyeong-taek city case. This model could be used as coefficient of determination of city's characteristics model(revised R square) was 0.970. a total amount of taxi number in the future for the city of Pyeong-taek. As a result, the model produced a proper fleet size of Pyeong-taek city in the future as 1,794 taxis by 2014, which was higher in number by 214 taxis, compared to 2009. Also, the model of the service rate, considering operation condition, was used to analyze a total number of taxies. As a result, the model showed a total number of taxis as 1,224 taxis by 2014, which is lower in number by 356 taxies, compared to 2009. It is desirable to use both city's characteristics model and the service rate model to estimate a total number of taxis in conclusion. As a result of adopting average value from two model, the model produced a total supply plan of Pyeong-taek city as 1,509 taxis by 2014, which is smaller than in number by 71 taxis, compared to 2009.

This study aims to discuss the current status of the ride-sharing platform industry, which embodies the core values of the 4th Industrial Revolution, sharing and connectivity, as well as economic, industrial, and legal issues. To understand the position of competing groups, the research conducted extensive literature reviews on domestic and international cases of technical and legal issues of the sharing economy. The result indicates that the ride sharing industry showed the economy of synthesis in which production, supply, distribution, and consumption are on one platform. It made possible to share values to users and synthesize them with new services through easy-access mobile application technology. To resolve the conflicts between the taxi industry and the ride sharing industry, this study suggests the following: Ride-sharing companies should make contributions to provide legitimate services. The taxi industry needs to understand the value of the new industry and consumers who chose the shared platform service. The significance of the current study is that it proposed a comprehensive analysis and policy direction toward the issue of balance between public and private interests and legal stability.
