Abstract

The prediction of taxi demand service has become a recently attractive area of research along with large-scale and potential applications in the intelligent transportation system. The demand process is divided into two main parts: Picking-up and dropping-off demand based on passenger habit. Taxi demand prediction is a great concept for drivers and passengers, and is designed platforms for ride-hailing and municipal managers. The majority of research has focused on forecasting the pick-up part of demand service and specifying the interconnection of spatial and temporal correlations. In this study, the main focus is to overcome the access point of non-registered users for having fake transactions using taxi services and predicting taxi demand pick-up and drop-off information. The integration of machine learning techniques and blockchain framework is considered a possible solution for this problem. The blockchain technique was selected as an effective technique for protecting and controlling the real-time system. Historical data analysis was processed by extracting the three higher related sections for the intervening time, namely closeness and trend. Next, the pick-up and drop-off taxi prediction task was processed based on constructing the components of multi-task learning and spatiotemporal feature extraction. The combination of feature embedding performance and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) obtain the pick-up and drop-off correlation by fusing the historical data spatiotemporal features. Finally, the taxi demand pick-up and drop-off prediction were processed based on the combination of the external factors. The experimental result is based on a real dataset in Jeju Island, South Korea, to show the proposed system’s efficacy and performance compared with other state-of-art models.

Highlights

  • In modern urbanization, the lifestyle of people significantly changes the usage of public transportation, especially taxi services, which is a comfortable and convenient choice for most people travelling when compared with the high costs of using a car and paying for parking lots and other expenses

  • Each row of data gives the information related to ID, pick-up date and time, drop-off date and time, pick-up longitude, drop-off longitude, pick-up latitude, and drop-off latitude

  • A total of seven fields were used in the process mentioned: ID, pick-up time, drop-off time, pick-up time longitude, pick-up time latitude, drop-off longitude, and drop-off latitude

Summary

Introduction

The lifestyle of people significantly changes the usage of public transportation, especially taxi services, which is a comfortable and convenient choice for most people travelling when compared with the high costs of using a car and paying for parking lots and other expenses This is evident in the increase of ride-hailing services in Jeju Island, of which its density and utilization have ineffective resources. Based on customer’s experience of using both taxi services, it is important to know that the nearest ride-hailing taxi service might take more time to reach a passenger’s location In this case, there is a need to improve the utilization and enhancement of the efficiency of both types of taxi services, which is for the benefit of the driver and passenger. The route selection is based on real-time traffic information by minimizing the time expected to reach and road network; the request is sent to a nearby taxi, closer to the passenger
