Abstract:

The current urbanization and motorization have caused a gradual negative impact on the existing transport infrastructure in Yangon City. Currently, the road network throughout Yangon operates at or above its desired capacity during the peak periods. At present, there are over 62,886 registered taxis operating in Yangon City. These taxis provide two different services to passengers: non-metered taxi (traditionally hailed on the street) service and metered taxi (on demand) service. Private cars and taxis constitute 70% of the modes of transport in Yangon City; this may lead to traffic congestion

Abstract:

Conducting gate to gate operations during reduced visibility conditions is a major impediment to scheduled and unscheduled flight operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). Takeoff and landing minima are predicated on aircraft equipage and airport visibility (e.g., at some major airports, operations are terminated when visibility is below 700 ft runway visual range (RVR). Although some aircraft can land with zero-zero visibility, there are no ground or flight deck systems that allow them to taxi under low visibility conditions.

Abstract:

On-demand mobility has existed for more than 100 years in the form of taxi systems. Comparatively recently, ride-hailing schemes have also grown to a significant mode share. Most types of such one-way mobility-on-demand systems allow drivers taking independent decisions. These systems are not or only partially coordinated. In a different operating mode, all decisions are coordinated by the operator, allowing for the optimization of certain metrics. Such a coordinated operation is also implied if human-driven vehicles are replaced by self-driving cars. This work quantifies the service quality a

This study investigates the optimization of taxi-pooling operations using the queuing model, aiming to enhance efficiency and revenue for taxi service platforms. Traditional taxi operations face challenges during peak periods, including inefficiency and increased operational costs. Taxi-pooling, by accommodating multiple passengers with similar travel demands, offers a solution that reduces travel costs, operational expenses, and urban congestion.

This study proposes a novel procedure for estimating aircraft fuel burn during ground operations using aircraft trajectory data acquired from an airport surface surveillance system.

AbstractIn traditional air taxi model, flight route and timing are assigned to every order individually, resulting in minimum utilization of seats, maximum number of empty legs and elevated price levels. Sharing flights, when possible, allow decreasing number of empty seats and distributing cost of flight among customers. Challenges to overcome are varying timing needs of customers and volatility of demand. This article investigates possibilities of synchronizing passenger orders.

Abstract:

In the context of the carbon neutrality target, carbon reduction in the daily operation of the transportation system is more important than that in productive activities. There are few travel services that can quantify low-carbon travel, with a lack of effective low-carbon travel tools to guide transportation behavior. On-demand access to taxi services can effectively reduce the additional carbon emissions caused by cruising, which in turn increases efficiency in urban mobility with a reduced taxi fleet scale. For individual taxis, they lack macroscopic horizon in their choice of passenger pic

Abstract:

The demand for air mobility services will depend on the safety of these operations but also on the transportation time savings in congested urban areas. An adequate air space structure is therefore essential to achieve both objectives. Corridors, the most extended solution proposed nowadays, can meet the safety requirements necessary for air taxi operations, but they are rigid (point-to-point solutions) and would increase delays. As an alternative, this paper presents the airspace structure proposed in the SESAR AMU-LED Project, based on layers to assure both safety and efficiency of air taxi

Abstract:

To explore the ability of taxi transportation service capacity in unexpected conditions, based on the taxi GPS trajectory data, this paper presented a taxi transportation network and explored a cascading failure model with the non-linear function of traffic intensity as the initial load. Moreover, the cascading failure conditions for different initial loads with different parameter settings were derived by combining the complex network theory. We verified the ability of taxi transportation networks to withstand unexpected conditions and analyzed the differences and features of taxi transportat

Abstract:

With major investments in electric taxis emerging around the world, there is a need to better understand resource allocation trade-offs in subsidizing electric vehicle taxis (e-taxis) and investing in electric charging infrastructure. This is addressed using simulation experiments conducted in New York City: 2016 taxi pickups/drop-offs, a Manhattan road network (16,782 nodes, 23,337 links), and 212 charging stations specified by a 2013 Taxi & Limousine Commission study. The simulation is based on a platform used to evaluate taxi operations in California and Seoul. Eleven scenarios are anal

Abstract:

Abstract Taxiing of manned and remotely piloted aircraft is still performed by pilots without using a system of automatic control of direction and speed. Several reasons have emerged in recent years that make the automation of taxiing an important design challenge. The reasons are: decreased airport capacity due to the growing number of aircraft, poor ground operation conditions during poor visibility conditions, an increase in workload of pilots and air traffic controllers and the integration of simultaneous ground operations of manned and remotely piloted air vehicles.

Abstract:

Congestion and delays occur on airport surfaces as a result of a rapid increase in the demand for air transport. The aim of this study is to determine the differences between optimized and observed operations to improve airport surface operation at Tokyo International Airport by using mixed-integer linear programming to minimize the total ground movement distance and time based on real-time flight information. Receding horizon schemes are considered to adapt to dynamic environments. The model obtains results that reduce the taxi distance by 18.54% and taxi time by 29.77% compared with the obse

Abstract:

Currently, the taxi empty crossing probability (ECP) is high, while taking a taxi is very difficult for people. This phenomenon is largely caused by the extensive mode of taxi operations. Aiming at this problem, a kind of intelligent optimization method based on the Artificial Fish-swarm Algorithm (AFSA) is proposed for taxi scheduling in this paper. Firstly, the design of this intelligent taxi dispatching system is introduced, and the taxi scheduling method based on grid dispatching algorithm is described simply. Then the method of using the AFSA to optimize the global distribution of empty t

Abstract:

With the emergence of joint business operations involving electric vehicle taxis (EVTs) and charging/swapping stations (CSSTs), a unified decision-making method has become essential for an EVT to select both the driving path and the energy acquisition mode (EAM). The decision making is influenced by energy acquisition cost and potential operation profit. The energy acquisition cost is closely related to the driving time required to reach a CSST, and existing prediction methods for driving time ignore the spatial–temporal interactions of traffic flows on different roads and fail to account for
