Abstract

The analysis of vehicle's GPS traces such as taxis can help better understand urban mobility and flow. In this paper we present a spatiotemporal analysis of taxis GPS traces collected in Lisbon, Portugal during the course of five month. We also show that trip distance can be represented with a Gamma distribution, and discuss the taxi driving strategies and respective income.
