Abstract :
In this paper we present the results of the Taxi on Demand (ToD) system Test Trial which was conducted on 25-29 June, 2007. The ToD system, featuring a location-based and traffic-sensitive methodology, incorporates automated taxi booking, dispatching and monitoring functionalities. The ToD solution effectively addresses current taxi sector needs, and may be expanded to emerging car-pooling/sharing models, allowing integration between modes of transport in urban or densely populated environments.
