Abstract

Recent research has been carried out in predicting the taxi rides that can be shared with different customers with similar pickup point also called as taxi pooling by taking into consideration parameters such as pickup latitude mean waiting time and distance between the pickup points. The influence/impact of weather is vital in deciding the taxis that needed to be present in an area for successful pooling transportation. This paper proposes a methodology incorporating the impact of weather in taxi pooling using XGBOOST technique. The proposed method is tested with New York City taxi dataset and New York City weather dataset. The simulation results show that there is a significant improvement in analysis and prediction of delays after incorporating weather details.
