Abstract
The relationship between taxi travel patterns and public transportation disruption has not been extensively explored. In this study, we investigated the impact of public transportation disruption on the taxi mobility patterns during the metro shutdown in Washington, D.C.. Multiple data source, involving taxi trips, traffic analysis zone, and point of interest (POI) information, was collected to compare the taxi travel patterns before, during, and after the metro shutdown. The number, distance, and duration of taxi trips were found to be significantly higher during the metro shutdown; specifically, the number of taxi trips was found to be 19.8% larger. Furthermore, a POI auxiliary analysis was performed to investigate the variation in community structure during the disruption of public transport using the modularity maximization approach. The results of this study will be useful for the development of taxi scheduling strategies and traffic management.
