Abstract:

The current taxi dispatch system based on taxi stop board has the shortages that passengers jump the queue frequently, the scheduling result is not optimized and appointments are broken by both passengers and taxi drivers. In order to solve these problems, a taxi dispatch system based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology is proposed. The system adds Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader as the perception layer, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) gateway modules as the transport layer and scheduling management center as the application layer, etc. The test results show that, each taxi stop of the system distributed in the city can schedule the nearby taxis. The dispatch management center can realize the management and query of scheduling results of each taxi stop.
