Abstract

Taxi booking and dispatching methods had advanced from the radio-paging systems used in the past to the current satellite-based dispatch systems. This change had greatly reduced the miscommunication between the call operators and taxi drivers. However, miscommunication can still exist between the customers and call operators. This paper proposed a solution that achieves an even higher accuracy picking up the passenger. GSM Cell ID positioning will be used to locate a customer, and he can identify his desired pickup location on a map that is given based on his current position. In addition, the solution also strived to increase the income of the taxi drivers and also to boost the revenue of the taxi companies with the ease of use of the new solution.
