The DGS is designed to sense taxi demands (where taxi trips are) and supplies (where taxi drivers are) throughout the city, and provide driver-specific guidance on which region / road to roam in order to improve the driver’s job prospects / trips. Drivers can use the DGS mobile app to get guidance and recommendation on where to find passengers.
DGS is jointly developed by the research team from Fujitsu-SMU Urban Computing and Engineering (“UNiCEN”) Corp. Lab, Singapore Management University (“SMU”) and Computing Science Department of Institute of High Performance Computing, under Agency for Science and Technology (A*Star), in collaboration with the Land Transport Authority of Singapore and supported by National Research Foundation.
