A Service Choice Model for Optimizing Taxi Service Delivery
In this paper, we propose a highly simplified model as
the first step in addressing the above described issue. The
model is simplified in terms of both number of players
and number of choices. We assume that the model will
be utilized by a single decision maker and he will choose
between two alternatives: 1) serve the general network, and
2) serve a major taxi stand. Despite its simpleness, the
model is adequate in demonstrating the weakness of the
current system. This provides a good starting point for further
studies in more complicated networks and also the design of
mechanisms that would resolve the paradox faced by current
system design
