    Abstract
  • The operation characteristics of urban taxi service network were researched in order to determine the reasonable development quantity of urban taxis. A new equilibrium model of taxi service network was developed, the route-choosing behaviours of occupied and vacant taxis and the supply-demand equilibrium relation of taxi service network in deterministic demand condition were analyzed, so that the model could describe taxi drivers' searching behaviours and the relationships among road network, taxi quantity, drivers' searching time and passengers' waiting time. A solution algorithm was designed according to the model structure. The computation result of simple numerical example shows that the algorithm is convergent, the method is feasible, the model can determine the reasonable development quantity of urban taxis according to given passengers' waiting time, which may offer some beneficial guidance and theoretic basis to the planning and management of urban taxi network.
