Abstract
In order to regulate taxi operation, improve waiting environment and promote taxi management benefit, a location method considering travel demands is proposed. In this paper, the spatial-temporal hotspot of travel demands are defined, and the aggregation characteristics of travel demands are analyzed through taxi GPS data, as well as hot-periods and hot-spots of travel demands are gotten. Based on travel demands, a maximal covering location model is constructed. Combined with the uncertainty of travel behavior and consumption characteristics of customers, the applicable conditions of the model in the aspect of service ability, distance and quantities are analyzed. The results of case study indicated that, location method based on the objective characteristics and with high practicability can better correspond to travel demands.
