Research Type Experimental By utilizing both of the buffered streaming and the large-size historical taxi data, the system focuses on wait time estimation (for both passengers and taxi drivers), citywide taxi pickup/dropoff hotspots, as well as the taxi trip distributions. The three-dimensional (3D) visualization is designed for users to access the analytics results and understand the characteristics of the taxi service. We also adopt the data analytics algorithms reported in [Lu et al., 2015].

Pseudocode No The paper describes the process steps in narrative text, for example: 'Firstly, it extracts all the taxi pickup locations using the taxi state transition. Secondly, it conducts the density based clustering, such as DBSCAN, on the extracted pickup locations...'
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statements about releasing source code or links to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The inputs for the three modules are the collected data from individual taxis. The taxi data collection is mainly leveraging on a special device, called mobile data terminal (MDT), which has been installed on nearly all 26 thousand taxis. The paper refers to 'collected data from individual taxis' and 'large-size offline historical data' which are implied to be proprietary or custom, and does not provide access information for a publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes using 'buffered streaming' and 'large-size historical taxi data' but does not provide specific details on train/validation/test splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper states, 'This demonstration does not need the special arrangement and device, but a large-size screen would be preferred.' No specific hardware details like GPU/CPU models or memory are provided for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions algorithms like DBSCAN and queuing theory but does not list any specific software dependencies or their version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper describes the functionalities of its modules and features used ('FTT probability', 'taxi booking ratio'), but does not provide specific experimental setup details such as hyperparameter values, training configurations, or system-level settings for its models (e.g., DBSCAN parameters).
