Abstract
Most passengers will go to the city or the surrounding destinations when they get off the plane. Taxi is one of the main means of transportation. Therefore, taxi drivers will face two options: queuing in the arrival area to wait for passengers to return to the urban area and directly returning to the urban area. In this paper, through the collection of relevant airport data and analysis and calculation methods, a fitting model is established, and a reasonable scheme is designed for the allocation of taxi resources. Based on the study and analysis of the influencing mechanism of taxi drivers’ decision-making factors, and considering the changing law of airport passenger number and the income of taxi drivers, this paper puts forward the reasonable allocation scheme of airport taxi.
Highlights
Most of the passengers have to go to the city’s destination after getting off the plane
P is the settlement price of taxi, P0 is the starting price of taxi, β d is the mileage price of taxi, L is the average driving distance of taxi, d0 is the starting price mileage of taxi, Q is the average travel demand of taxi passengers, v is the average speed of taxi, T is the travel time, R is the money earned by taxi, C is the cost required by taxi, and B is the profit earned by taxi. It can be seen from the model in this paper that in order to ensure the maximization of benefits, the decision made by taxi drivers depends on the demand of passengers, and on the fuel consumed in the process of taxi driving
This paper puts forward the following suggestions for taxi drivers on the allocation of airport taxi resources: First, if the taxi driver’s queuing time is short, because the queuing time is less than the empty time, and there is no fuel consumption in the queuing scheme, it is a more scientific decision to choose the airport taxi waiting area
Summary
Most of the passengers have to go to the city’s destination after getting off the plane. Taxi drivers who send passengers to the airport will face two choices: first, go to the arrival area and wait in line for passengers to return to the city. Taxis must wait in line at the designated “storage pool”, and enter the field to pick up passengers according to the “first come, come”. The waiting time depends on the number of taxis and passengers in line, which needs to pay a certain time cost; secondly, the taxi driver will pay the no-load cost and may lose the potential passenger income by directly returning to the urban area to pick up passengers. The decision-making of drivers is related to their personal experience judgment, such as the number of arriving flights, the number of possible passengers in a certain season and a certain period of time. There are many uncertain factors that affect the decision-making of taxi drivers, which have different relations and effects
