Abstract :
In this paper we present a novel taxi on demand (ToD) management system that implements a location based and traffic-sensing approach and incorporates automated taxi booking, dispatching, and monitoring application. ToD solution effectively addresses current taxi sector needs, and could be potentially expanded to emerging car-pooling/sharing models, allowing integration between modes of transport in urban/densely populated environments.
