Complete the implementation of taxi industry analysis information platform to help the competent highway authority to control over general situation of the taxi industry in the respective jurisdiction area within short period of time. The purpose is to enhance the professional know-how for studying the industrial development strategies along with the trend in order to provide the development direction for the industry.
Establish the following application issue analysis mode with the time and space related data logged for passengers boarding and alighting the taxi.
- Use the boarding coordinates to create hot spot for working with the competent authority to overlay the coordinates for the taxi stops. The result will be used as the reference for review the existing taxi stop location.
- Compare the gallery created by the boarding and alighting location with the public transportation operation data for understanding the public transportation service status in that gallery in order to analyze the feasibility of taxi pool service.
