Abstract

The degree of satisfaction of the customers lies largely in two major factors: the average time of waiting a cab and the total cost of boarding a cab. We create a basic model which has two parts: to calculate the total number of the cabs that can limit the average waiting time, and to optimize the prices that can satisfied both the customers and the companies. The major assumption is that we divide the research area into 9 parts, with 9 centers in them. Our target customers are those who relying on cabs and assume that everyone is going to the airport. We first calculate and solve the total number of the cabs in the area based on the limit of the average waiting time. We define a ratio named no-load ratio which is related to the density of population. Finally we compare analytically and numerical results with reality and validate that our method is correct and robust.
