This study presents a methodology that can integrate the information generated by the Busan taxi DTGs and Tachometers. Utilizing the results by the methodology, travel patterns of taxi users were analyzed. Also to verify the reliability of the methodology was conducted by comparing its results with those of O-D information of the National Transportation DB (KTDB). Despite the limited number of samples. the results of this study showed that DTG data, which can reflect changes in status and conditions in real time, can be used as a replacement for KTDB. It is expected that the results generated by the suggested methodology can be useful for developing and executing desirable taxi related policies.

As the convergence of traffic system and Big-data technology, new convenient services which is helpful for drivers and pedestrian are appeared. Recently, the various researches about the traffic system, such as prediction of traffic jam and finding the shortest path, are studied. In this paper, we collect the data of taxi trips in Daegu City, and visualize them on the map of Daegu City. And then, we select specific sections of roads in the city, and by using the data of location and speed about taxis and the information of the road sections, calculate the traffic of that section and the average speed of cars on that section. As a result of this, we give help solving the problem of the specific road sections.

The advantage of electric taxies is that people who are not familiar with electric vehicle(EV) can have easily experience to ride EV. So, EV taxi would be a reasonable strategy for triggering EV market expansion. However, the EV taxi can be adopted by taxi companies with financial benefits. Therefore the feasibility study should be required by analyzing the cost with the points of view of the taxi company. In this study we suggested the methodology for feasibility study of the EV taxi based on the real taxi data and presented political implication. According to the study result, EV taxies could have economic value under the specific conditions such that the government subsidy is added to the purchase price of the vehicle. Also, the charging time should be used as drivers' rest time or mealtime in order not to consider the loss cost. We suggest that the new feasibility study which compares an EV taxi with other alternative vehicles such as PHEV or with an old EV taxi is needed as the future works.

Clustering Unlabeled Spatial-datasets to convert them to Labeled Spatial-datasets is a challenging task specially for geographical information systems. In this research study we investigated the NYC Taxi Limousine Commission dataset and discover that all of the spatial-temporal trajectory are unlabeled Spatial-datasets, which is in this case it is not suitable for any data mining tasks, such as classification and regression. Therefore, it is necessary to convert unlabeled Spatial-datasets into labeled Spatial-datasets. In this research study we are going to use the Clustering Technique to do this task for all the Trajectory datasets. A key difficulty for applying machine learning classification algorithms for many applications is that they require a lot of labeled datasets. Labeling a Big-data in many cases is a costly process. In this paper, we show the effectiveness of utilizing a Clustering Technique for labeling spatial data that leads to a high-accuracy classifier.

Recently, due to THE MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT FOR THE MOBILITY IMPAIRED ACT, local governments have tired to make various efforts on special transport services(STS), low-flow bus, and installing elevator in subway stations for handicapped people. But in case of STS, insufficient numbers of taxi are raised against the increasing demand of hadicapped people due to the limited budget. This study investigated actual use condition of STS and characteristics of selection of handicapped people on Duribal. In addition, an ordered-logistic model was employed for developing taxi use prediction model considering taxi fare discounts for diverting Duribal demands to taxies. The results can be a significant basic data for transportation policies to improve travel efficiency of the handicapped.

Crime is not a completely random event but rather shows a pattern in space and time. Capturing the dynamic nature of crime patterns is a challenging task. Crime prediction models that rely only on neighborhood influence and demographic features might not be able to capture the dynamics of crime patterns, as demographic data collection does not occur frequently and is static. This work proposes a novel approach for crime count and hotspot prediction to capture the dynamic nature of crime patterns using taxi data along with historical crime and demographic data. The proposed approach predicts crime events in spatial units and classifies each of them into a hotspot category based on the number of crime events. Four models are proposed, which consider different covariates to select a set of independent variables. The experimental results show that the proposed combined subset model (CSM), in which static and dynamic aspects of crime are combined by employing the taxi dataset, is more accurate than the other models presented in this study.

The Purpose of this Paper is to compare and analyze the operational condition of corporation-owned and owner-driver taxies using tachometer output data. The empirical findings from this study are as follows : First, although corporation-owned taxies have long operating mileage and service driving mileage per vehicle. the service rate of owner-driver taxies were 3.5 percent higher than corporation-owned taxies. Secondly it is found that operation mileage, service driving mileage, and service Income except non-service driving mileage have statistically significant differences between corporation owned and owner-driver taxies. In addition. there was a weak correlation between the income and non-service driving mileage of owner-driver taxies. It is concluded that owner-driver taxies joined the call-taxi association and call-taxi services decreased non-service driving mileage.

In the urban and rural complex, taxis move from downtown to rural areas for business purposes, and operate a combined surcharge system that preserves losses when they back to downtown. However, complaints related to the abolition of the compound surcharge system are increasing due to deformed operation that does not fit the purpose of the system. When the combinedsurcharge system is abolished, the taxi industry can be hit hard by the decrease in profits, and local governments are inevitable to support it. However, it is difficult to set the size of the subsidy considering the decrease of actual income. This study is to estimate the income reduction in the abolition of the combined surcharge system by scientific and objective method by analyzing the DTG data and the sales data collected from the digital driving recorder installed in the corporate taxi of the urban and rural complex area (e.g., Tongyeong city). This study is meaningful in that it used DTG data to solve the current issues in the real region and suggested the use of new DTG data.

The main purpose of this study is identifying the factors which affect the mode choice behavior of work trips. Disaggregate behavioral approach is used for the analysis . The data were collected using the questionnaire survey method in Taegu. Two models were developed in this study which are multinomial logit model(MODEL-1) for auto, taxi and bus and multinomial logit model (MODEL-2) for auto, taxi, bus and subway. The stated preference (SP) data were used for the analysis of the subway mode choice behavior. MODEL-1 provide reasonable results for the future application. A multinomial model (MODEL-2) developed using the stated preference(SP) data was tested for the use of future transportation mode. It is four that the those models provides reasonable results in terms of behavioral and statistical consideration.

Amongst various analytic methods of internal structure of city, the factor analysis method which uses O-D matrix data has some merits and characteristics compared to other methods. 1) It is possible to find one certain interaction and flow pattern between traffic zones with in a city through reanalyzing O-D data which is too complex to grasp specific meaning or pattern of flow systems. 2) It can be easily visualized the traffic flow pattern by using adequate graphic techniques, and also can clarify the functional areas whose interaction linkages are significantly strong enough between each other. In this study, the taxi traffic O-D data between 42 traffic zones in Kwang-ju city was reanalyzied by varimax rotated factor analysis methods. As a result, four factors that have significant level factor loading (over 0.5 ) and factor score (over 1.0) were sorted out. so to speak four different functional areas were clarified in Kwang-ju city, of the West, the East, the south, and the North functional areas whose interaction linkages are significantly strong enough between each other. In the study, the taxi traffic O-D data between 42 traffic zones in Kwang-ju city was reanalyzied by varimax rotated factor analysis methods. As a result, four factors that have significant level factor loading (over 0.5) and factor score 9over 1.0) were sorted out. so to speak four different functional areas were clarified in Kwang-ju city, of the West, the East, the South, and the North functional area, then these four functional areas are almost coincided with citizen's general conception of community division and administrative district. Accordingly the factor analysis methods using traffic data seems to proved to be very accurate and useful analytic instruments for analyzing flow pattern and clarifying functional areas of city, and believed to provide basic informations and criteria for practical urban land use planning and transportation planning.
