Abstract

We built the model of simplified model, which contains a university, a college, a city commercial center, mall and airport surrounding, taking Ithaca as a prototype. And we select the question 1.2.3 to analyze. We establish the concept of the taxi arrival rate (the times a taxi could arrive its destination average per hour), and connect it with the average waiting time of passenger. In the situation that the taxi effective driving time is confirmed (in view of the road condition, we take it as 30km/h), we can obtain the relationship between the variable quantity such as Wh (carrying time per hour), a(arrival rate of the taxi),and k(space driving rate).The reasonable k should be in the range of 20%-35% via our analyzing. When k=0.25, 259 taxis is needed in our city model.
