Talk Title: Demand and Supply Distribution of Street Hailing Taxi Service
Abstract: Before the rise of taxi hailing via mobile devices, passengers and taxi drivers have no information about each others' locations. For traditional street hailing taxi services, where are the potential passengers? Where are the free taxis? Does free taxi supply match passenger demand? Using New York City taxi trip records during 2009-2013, we built and tested models to answer these questions.
