Technical Improvements on Mobile App Based Taxi Dispatching System

Abstract

Current prevalent mobile apps on taxi dispatching help drivers and passengers find each other, which improves the efficiency of booking a taxi compared to traditional mode. However, there are still some critical issues remained or newly introduced, especially on accuracy, equality, safety and honesty. This paper proposes several technical improvements to solve them. What's more, by exploiting more location and other information from the driver and passenger, some additional improvements on route, taximeter and taxi pooling are discussed.
