Intelligent Taxi Service System Based on Carrier-Cloud-Client

The development of cloud computing, big data and ubiquitous communication technologies bring a golden opportunity to traditional taxi service systems. In this paper, we propose an intelligent taxi service system based on Carrier-Cloud-Client framework of Internet of Vehicle (IOV) for the first time. Basically, the system employs an advanced intelligent vehicle terminal, a powerful cloud platform and practical client applications. Specifically, a hierarchical model is presented as an architecture to modularize the system, spanning from terminal sensing and data processing to the topmost service presentation. The proposed system can significantly improve customer satisfaction, driver enthusiasm and business performance. Finally, the value of the intelligent taxi service system is demonstrated by applying it to some scenarios in the real word. The result shows that our system outperform most existing taxi service systems with respect to the service quality.
