Abstract:
In order to relieve taxi-taking difficulty and reduce air pollution,taxi ride-sharing becomes more and more popular. So as to set price of a ride-sharing taxi more fairly,a loaded-run of a taxi is divided into several stages according to the number of passengers carried by the taxi. And then a bankruptcy model for every ride-sharing stage is established. After the analysis of the properties,which should be satisfied by the solutions of the bankruptcy model corresponding to this situation,the Talmud rule is used to solve the model. Thereby a pricing method for ride-sharing taxi is proposed. Exponential analysis shows that the fees determined by the proposed method are increasing with the number of ride-sharing passengers and with the distance of the ride-sharing,but with a slow increasing. Thus,the proposed method can increase the incentives of taxi drivers and passengers to participate in multi-person taxi ride-sharing and in long-run taxi ride-sharing. Research results can be taken as references for related managements to formulate policies about taxi ride-sharing. Copyright © 2017 by Science Press.
