Abstract :
A discrete event system simulation model for cruising taxis is proposed. The dynamic processes of taxis searching for passengers and providing travel services are simulated. The impacts of search strategies and radio dispatch system are studied. Through a simulation experiment, it is shown that strategies based on history information can help to raise system efficiency, and cruising taxis can not benefit from equipping a radio dispatch system.
