Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation engineering technology, and in particular to a method and system for optimizing urban vehicle capacity based on hybrid prediction. Background Technology
[0002] The rational allocation of urban vehicle capacity is key to ensuring efficient travel between origin and destination, optimizing transportation resource allocation, and promoting the sustainable development of the industry. With accelerating urbanization and increasingly diversified transportation demands, taxis are playing an increasingly important role in urban public transportation systems.
[0003] However, determining the scale of transportation capacity involves multiple complex factors such as the city's development level, population distribution, travel preferences, road resource carrying capacity, vehicle operating efficiency, and market supply and demand. Traditional capacity planning methods often rely on single-dimensional experience judgments or simplified statistical models, which are usually limited by the channels and accuracy of data acquisition. This results in a large deviation between the predicted development trend of ride-hailing scale and the actual situation, and a mismatch between capacity allocation and transportation demand. It is difficult to fully capture the dynamics and complexity of the urban transportation system, which often leads to a mismatch between capacity allocation and residents' actual travel needs. This can either result in excess capacity and wasted resources, or cause supply and demand imbalance and travel difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-2This invention discloses a method for optimizing urban vehicle transport capacity based on hybrid prediction. The steps include: acquiring urban basic data, traffic operation data, taxi operation trajectory data, origin-destination travel data, and points of interest (POI) data, and preprocessing them to obtain a multidimensional spatiotemporal dataset; constructing a hybrid bidirectional prediction model of supply capacity and travel demand based on the multidimensional spatiotemporal dataset; calculating supply capacity based on the physical capacity limits of urban roads and parking resources, combined with the reasonable modal share of taxis in the traffic structure; simulating the spatiotemporal network distribution of origin-destination travel by integrating deep learning and traffic planning theories to obtain an initial transport capacity based on travel demand; sequentially revising the initial transport capacity based on multimodal traffic development trends and adjusting the estimation based on horizontal city comparisons to obtain an optimized recommended transport capacity; setting a multidimensional monitoring indicator system based on the optimized recommended transport capacity to monitor and evaluate the taxi market operation status in real time, and triggering tiered early warnings and implementing corresponding control response measures based on the evaluation results to achieve a dynamic balance between transport capacity supply and demand.
[0027] Specifically, the system collects basic urban data such as GDP, population, and road mileage from multiple sources, including the Municipal Transportation Bureau, statistical yearbooks, Gaode Maps open platform, and ride-hailing regulatory platforms. It also gathers traffic operation data such as vehicle GPS trajectories and order records, origin-destination travel survey data, and Points of Interest (POI) data including names, categories, and latitude / longitude. This data is then uniformly cleaned and formatted to construct a cross-domain, multi-dimensional spatiotemporal dataset. Next, a hybrid two-way forecasting process is performed based on this dataset: on the supply side, the capacity is calculated from the perspective of the upper limit of urban physical infrastructure supply, based on road capacity and reasonable empty-running rate constraints. On the demand side, a model integrating deep learning and transportation planning theory is constructed to simulate future transportation demand, obtaining an initial capacity value based on demand. Then, this initial value undergoes a two-stage optimization: first, considering the impact of future transportation modes such as autonomous driving and shared electric bicycles, the model is revised based on multimodal transportation development trends; second, similar cities are selected for horizontal comparison, and a reference value is obtained through principal component analysis and weighted calculation. Finally, the optimized recommended capacity scale is derived. Finally, the system continues to operate, and based on the recommended capacity scale, it sets indicators covering four dimensions: supply and demand, compliance, efficiency, and safety for real-time monitoring. Once an indicator exceeds the set yellow, orange, and red thresholds, it automatically triggers corresponding control measures from information guidance to administrative intervention, thus forming a dynamic management closed loop of prediction-optimization-monitoring-control to achieve a continuous balance between capacity supply and demand.
[0028] This application overcomes the limitations of traditional single-dimensional forecasting methods by constructing a hybrid two-way forecasting model that integrates supply capacity and travel demand, significantly improving the scientific rigor and accuracy of capacity calculation. Furthermore, through a dual optimization mechanism of multimodal transportation development trend correction and horizontal city comparison estimation adjustment, the foresight and realistic rationality of the planning results are enhanced. Finally, relying on a management closed loop formed by a multi-dimensional monitoring indicator system and tiered early warning and control response, a fundamental shift from static planning to dynamic balance in capacity allocation is achieved, thus systematically solving the industry problem of capacity-demand mismatch and improving the overall utilization efficiency of urban transportation resources and the level of refinement in industry governance.
[0029] In some embodiments, the preprocessing steps specifically include: cleaning the collected vehicle trajectory data, filtering valid data according to the set urban area latitude and longitude range, removing null values, abnormal passenger status attribute values, and abnormal trajectory offset data, and performing dimensionality reduction on the data; extracting operational feature parameters from the cleaned trajectory data, the feature parameters including ride-hailing demand, demand time distribution, passenger carrying time distribution, passenger search time distribution, and mileage utilization rate; reclassifying the travel point of interest (POI) data, merging similar categories and removing categories with low correlation to travel demand, and performing spatial grid filtering based on the set urban area, calculating the POI density and POI diversity index of each grid unit.
[0030] Specifically, for vehicle trajectory data, spatial filtering is first performed based on city geographical boundaries to remove records outside the defined range. Data cleaning then follows, including deleting records with null values in key fields, correcting or removing abnormal passenger status values, and identifying significant trajectory drift points caused by signal loss. To improve processing efficiency, Python tools are used to examine the data columns, removing redundant fields irrelevant to the analysis, thus achieving data dimensionality reduction.
[0031] From the cleaned data, the demand for ride-hailing services in each region and time period was calculated as follows: ;in, Let i be the number of orders in region i during time period t; For decision variables, the value is 1 if order k occurs in region i and time period t, and 0 otherwise; The average passenger load factor is set to 2, based on historical data and experience, since it is difficult to obtain the number of passengers per vehicle.
[0032] The time period distribution of ride-hailing demand is as follows: ;in, The percentage of orders in time period t; The total number of orders in time period t; This represents the total number of time periods.
[0033] Passenger travel time distribution is as follows: ; ;in, This is the average number of passengers. For passenger variance, The time spent on the kth order.
[0034] The time distribution for finding customers is as follows: The statistical method is similar to that for passenger search time. If the passenger search time exceeds 1 hour, it is classified as an outlier and needs to be removed.
[0035] For POI data, the original 23 categories are merged and filtered according to their functional attributes. For example, categories that are strongly related to travel, such as shopping and healthcare, are retained, while categories with low correlation, such as gas stations, are removed. Spatial filtering is also performed within the same study area.
[0036] Finally, the POI density is calculated for each geographic grid cell. and POI diversity index Linking Points of Interest (POIs) with Travel Demand ;in, For POI density, For the POI diversity index, The total number of point of interest types. The percentage of the number of interest points of type j. Let i be the number of POIs of type i. The area of the region where the POI is located. Let be the travel demand of the i-th grid cell. For the regression constant term, The number of interest points of type j within the i-th grid cell. For the POI attractiveness weight of type i, This is a constant term.
[0037] This application improves data quality and processing efficiency by specifically cleaning, filtering, and feature engineering multi-source heterogeneous data, and by cleaning and reducing the dimensionality of trajectory data. The extracted operational feature parameters directly quantify the market operation status, providing key inputs for the model. The reclassification and gridded computation of POI data enables a quantitative representation of the urban functional spatial structure. By transforming the raw data into a standardized, gridded, and computable multidimensional spatiotemporal dataset, the problem of messy and low information density of the raw data is effectively overcome, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent analysis.
[0038] In some embodiments, the step of calculating the supply capacity based on the physical capacity limit of urban roads and parking resources, combined with the reasonable modal share of taxis in the traffic structure, specifically includes: calculating the taxi capacity scale that road resources can support by using the mileage of urban roads at all levels, the capacity per unit length, the average operating speed of motor vehicles, the vehicle utilization rate during peak hours, and the modal share of taxis in all modes of travel; assessing the upper limit of the number of taxis that parking resources can support by using the total supply of urban parking spaces, the proportion of taxi parking demand, and the turnover efficiency of parking spaces; inversely calculating the capacity scale that matches the city's operational efficiency by setting a reasonable empty-running rate range for taxis, combined with the average daily operating time and average operating speed of vehicles; and determining the taxi capacity scale based on the calculation results.
[0039] Specifically, the supply capacity assessment includes three parallel evaluation paths. The first is a road resource-based assessment: obtaining the total mileage of urban expressways, arterial roads, and secondary arterial roads; referencing standards to determine the capacity per unit length as 800 vehicles / hour; using floating car data to determine the average speed of motor vehicles as approximately 24 km / h; obtaining data from regulatory platforms that the peak usage rate of ride-hailing services is approximately 44%; and setting the ride-hailing travel proportion at 5%-6.8% based on the principle of moderate development; and substituting these values into the formula to calculate the scale. Where Q represents the reasonable total scale; L represents the mileage of roads at all levels in the city; C represents the traffic capacity per unit length; V represents the average operating speed of motor vehicles in the city; γ represents the current peak usage rate of ride-hailing services in the city, that is, the proportion of ride-hailing services operating during peak hours to the total number of ride-hailing services in the city; and α represents the proportion of ride-hailing trips among all modes of transportation in the city.
[0040] Second, based on the calculation of parking resources: survey the total number of public parking spaces in the city, estimate the proportion of parking demand and parking space turnover rate of taxis in combination with the characteristics of taxi operation, and assess the upper limit of the scale that can be supported.
[0041] Third, an assessment based on a reasonable empty-running rate: Referring to industry experience, the reasonable empty-running rate K is set in the range of 30%-40%, combined with the average daily operating time T, average operating speed V, and number of vehicles n, using the formula... To determine the optimal scale of taxi fleet while maintaining a certain empty-running rate, we can deduce the following: K represents the empty-running rate; T represents the average daily operating time of a typical taxi; V represents the average operating speed of a taxi; and n represents the number of taxis. Based on the experience of advanced taxi operations in some developed cities in China and relevant domestic and international analyses and surveys, combined with GPS data analysis of taxis in Jinan, a city-wide empty-running rate of 30% to 40% is considered reasonable. An excessively high empty-running rate leads to resource waste, while an excessively low rate results in difficulty hailing a taxi, reducing passenger satisfaction. Therefore, maintaining an empty-running rate of around 35% for a typical taxi fleet will achieve the best results.
[0042] Ultimately, when making decisions, the final reference value for the supply capacity dimension is determined based on the calculation results of the three factors to ensure that it does not exceed the rigid constraints of urban resources.
[0043] This application comprehensively assesses three complementary physical or efficiency constraints: road resources, parking resources, and reasonable empty-running rate. This approach overcomes the limitations of relying solely on single resource limits. Road resource assessment reflects dynamic traffic capacity constraints, parking resource assessment reflects static capacity constraints, and the reasonable empty-running rate assessment incorporates industry-relevant values for operational economics and service efficiency. This multi-dimensional approach to determining the final supply capacity reference value ensures that the planned capacity does not exceed the limits of urban infrastructure and reasonable operational efficiency, thus enhancing the feasibility and safety of the planning scheme.
[0044] In some embodiments, the step of simulating the spatiotemporal network distribution of origin-destination travel by integrating deep learning and traffic planning theory specifically includes: constructing a hybrid prediction model that integrates a long short-term memory network and a four-stage traffic planning method; in the travel generation stage of the hybrid prediction model, using a long short-term memory network to process the temporal characteristics of historical travel volume, order volume, order temporal change rate, and point of interest data to predict the total travel demand of each grid area; in the travel distribution stage, using a convolutional long short-term memory network model to divide the urban space into uniform grids, and using historical order demand, demand change rate, point of interest density, and road network connectivity as multi-channel spatiotemporal grid data as input, and outputting the predicted travel demand of each grid area in the future time period.
[0045] Specifically, traffic distribution forecasting refers to converting the total occurrence and attraction volumes of traffic zones in traffic activity forecasting into specific travel volumes for each traffic zone. In this process, different methods are used to simulate and predict the travel distribution between traffic zones. By considering the cross-traffic between intersections or nodes, the traffic distribution on different paths is estimated. The calculation formula is: ; ; In the formula: This indicates the traffic volume between area i and area j in the coming years; This represents the traffic volume between region i and region j in the base year; This indicates the multiple by which traffic volume increases in zone i; This indicates the multiple by which traffic volume increases in zone j.
[0046] In the traffic distribution prediction stage, ConvLSTM is used for prediction. This model combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory network (LSTM) deep learning model, which can be used to process sequential data with spatiotemporal dependencies, such as vehicle trajectories. Forget gate: Input gate: Candidate state: Cell state: Output gate: ; Latent state: Where ∗ represents convolution operation and ⊙ represents element-wise multiplication; Ht-1 is the input of the current time step; Ht-1 is the hidden state of the previous time step. These are the convolution kernel weights. This is the bias term. σ uses the Sigmoid activation function to gate the signal.
[0047] The city was divided into uniform grids, and data was aggregated in fixed 30-minute time windows. GPS trajectories of taxi orders within the past 12 hours were converted into spatiotemporal grid data, and a gridded demand heatmap was created. The urban development baseline data from previous surveys were incorporated as input.
[0048] The order quantity in the current time slice is selected as the primary demand channel, while the demand change rate, POI density, and road network connectivity are used as other demand channels. For channel set, The main channel of demand is The demand change rate channel is POI density channel is The road network connectivity channel is n is the number of intersections, and L is the road length.
[0049] To better reconstruct travel characteristics, spatiotemporal context features are further integrated on top of basic features. This paper adopts a staged fusion approach: in ConvLSTMCELL1, 3×3 basic convolutions are used to extract low-order grid features; in the middle layer of ConvLSTMCELL2, 5×5 convolutions are used in the time dimension to extract hourly features. ,Week and special holidays Predict separately and dynamically weight using a gating mechanism; calculate the neighborhood mean or maximum value using a 3×3 convolutional kernel in the spatial dimension; temporal context-temporal feature embedding: Spatial context-neighborhood statistics: In ConvLSTMCELL3, a 5×5 convolution is used to introduce a global spatiotemporal context by predicting urban traffic flow.
[0050] Parallel use of 3×3 and 5×5 convolutional kernels of different sizes captures multi-scale spatial patterns. In ConvLSTMCELL2, parallel multi-scale convolution increases the number of channels, with 64-channel concatenations increasing the number to 128. The lower layer captures the short-term dependence of ride-hailing trajectory data, while the higher layer captures the long-term trend of ride-hailing predictions in urban traffic flow and economic growth.
[0051] Attention mechanisms are divided into spatial attention and temporal attention. Spatial attention... Enhance attention by focusing on POI hotspot areas Time-based attention enhancement is achieved through key morning and evening rush hours and special holidays. . ; .
[0052] In traffic demand forecasting, the urban traffic volume is obtained, with ride-hailing services accounting for 5%–6.8% of all transportation trips. The generation and attraction of ride-hailing services between residential areas are calculated. Where: C represents the reasonable scale of ride-hailing services; For ride-hailing transportation demand, p represents the daily order volume, and p represents the total vehicle dispatch rate. This is the surplus factor, which is taken as 0 under the baseline condition.
[0053] This application addresses the bottleneck of traditional methods in predicting spatiotemporally distributed travel demand by embedding Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which excel at capturing complex temporal dependencies, into the framework of the classic four-stage transportation planning method. In the travel generation stage, LSTM is used to process historical sequences and related factors, improving the prediction accuracy of the nonlinear changes in total demand over time. In the travel distribution stage, a ConvLSTM model is used to process multi-channel spatiotemporal grid data, enabling simultaneous learning of the spatial clustering effect and temporal evolution of travel demand. This achieves accurate, end-to-end prediction of fine-grained grids and future travel distribution, significantly improving the spatial specificity and temporal accuracy of capacity calculation based on travel demand.
[0054] In some embodiments, the model correction step based on multimodal transportation development trends specifically includes: selecting multimodal transportation factors affecting the scale of taxi capacity, wherein the multimodal transportation factors include at least: the market penetration rate of driverless taxis, the deployment scale of shared electric bicycles, the penetration rate of low-altitude passenger transport, the growth rate of private motor vehicle ownership, and changes in the public transport modal share; assigning weight coefficients to each of the multimodal transportation factors, and, based on the rate of change of each influencing factor in future time periods, combined with the corresponding weight coefficients, weighting and correcting the initial capacity scale obtained based on travel demand to obtain the capacity scale corrected by the multimodal transportation factors.
[0055] Specifically, this method provides a calibration anchor point based on real-world experience for the local model prediction results. The corrected model uses a multiple linear regression model, and the weights are determined by expert methods. The correction formula is as follows: In the formula: , This represents the current and revised forecast values. The weights of each factor. The rate of change for each factor.
[0056] This application incorporates key variables of future transportation structure transformation into current capacity planning considerations, achieving a leap from reflecting the current situation to adapting to the future. Through pre-set impact weighting coefficients, it quantitatively assesses the potential diversion effect of emerging transportation modes such as autonomous driving, shared electric bicycles, and low-altitude passenger transport on taxi demand, as well as their sensitivity to trends such as motor vehicle growth and public transportation upgrades. This modified model essentially adds a forward-looking attenuation factor to capacity forecasting, making the planning results more strategically resilient and adaptable. It avoids the risk of plans becoming rapidly outdated or investments being wasted due to technological or model changes, providing a forward-looking basis for scientific decision-making.
[0057] In some embodiments, the step of estimation and adjustment based on horizontal city comparison specifically includes: selecting multiple cities similar to the target city in terms of scale, economic development stage, or urban function as comparison cities; extracting a set of common indicators affecting taxi ownership from the target city and each comparison city; processing the common indicators using principal component analysis to determine the influence weight of each indicator; and performing weighted calculations based on the ratios of the target city and each comparison city on each indicator, the actual taxi ownership of each comparison city, and a preset similarity weight to obtain a reference value for transport capacity based on horizontal comparison.
[0058] Specifically, this model primarily employs a horizontal city comparison estimation method to compare data on the number of taxis per 10,000 people, the number of ride-hailing vehicles per 10,000 people, daily order volume, ride-hailing capacity saturation in cities, and data from small and medium-sized cities with the current study city, thereby deriving a revised size prediction value. The calculation formula is as follows: In the formula: The value represents the estimated taxi ownership in the target city; j represents the number of comparison factors; n represents the number of comparison cities. Factors influencing the number of taxis; To compare the values of the j-th factor in city i; This represents the value of the j-th factor in the target city. To compare the number of taxis in the city; To compare the similarity weights between the city and the target city.
[0059] This application uses principal component analysis to extract core common factors influencing transport capacity from numerous city indicators, avoiding the bias of subjective indicator selection. By calculating similarity weights, it ensures that samples more comparable to the target city have a greater impact. By placing the target city in a comparable coordinate system and using real development data from similar cities to validate and adjust the model results, it effectively prevents distorted results from complex models due to local data or parameter biases, enhancing the realistic rationality and decision-acceptability of the final recommended transport capacity scale.
[0060] In some embodiments, the steps of real-time monitoring and evaluation of the taxi market operation status, and triggering tiered early warnings and implementing corresponding regulatory response measures based on the evaluation results, specifically include: continuously monitoring and evaluating an indicator system covering four dimensions—supply and demand balance, compliance governance, operational efficiency, and safety risks—based on the optimized recommended capacity scale; setting three-level quantitative early warning thresholds (yellow, orange, and red) for the core indicators in the indicator system; when monitoring data triggers a yellow warning, implementing response measures including generating a market operation monitoring report, issuing warnings and guidance to operating platforms with low compliance rates, and releasing compliant ride guidance information to the public; when monitoring data triggers an orange warning, implementing response measures including implementing economic regulation on non-compliant orders, providing subsidies to compliant drivers providing services during peak hours, and optimizing the platform's order scheduling strategy through algorithms; and when monitoring data triggers a red warning, implementing response measures including suspending new capacity access permits, restricting or shutting down the service functions of low-compliance platforms in specific areas, and organizing joint enforcement actions across administrative departments.
[0061] Specifically, the system's indicator system, based on the optimized recommended capacity scale, includes four dimensions: supply and demand balance (core indicator: capacity saturation index, i.e., daily average number of orders / number of compliant vehicles), compliance governance (core indicator: proportion of illegally operating vehicles), operational efficiency (core indicator: empty mileage ratio), and safety risk (core indicator: accident rate per 10,000 kilometers). Each core indicator has clearly defined yellow, orange, and red thresholds. For example, a capacity saturation index exceeding 20 triggers a yellow alert, exceeding 24 triggers an orange alert, and exceeding 25 triggers a red alert. The system connects to real-time data streams and continuously calculates these indicators. When an indicator triggers a yellow alert, the system automatically generates a weekly report, sends risk warnings to platforms with low compliance rates, and pushes compliant ride reminders to citizens through the government affairs app. When an orange alert is triggered, the system instructs the regulatory platform to impose adjustment fees on non-compliant orders, while simultaneously issuing subsidies to compliant driver accounts that accept orders during peak hours, and triggering the platform's dispatch algorithm to enter "efficiency-first" mode. When a red alert is triggered, the system automatically freezes the online application process for new capacity permits, sends a service suspension order to platforms in areas where illegal operations account for more than 80%, and generates an enforcement task list that is synchronized to the joint enforcement system of transportation and public security. Data on the effectiveness of all response measures will be re-integrated into the real-time database, initiating the next round of monitoring and evaluation.
[0062] This application, through a pre-set four-dimensional indicator system and three-level quantitative thresholds, achieves automatic, real-time diagnosis and early warning classification of market operation status (such as supply and demand imbalance, insufficient compliance, inefficiency, and increased risk). More importantly, it matches each early warning level with a tiered, combined response measure package, ranging from information guidance and economic incentives to administrative enforcement, ensuring that early warnings can be automatically and rapidly transformed into actionable and differentiated regulatory actions. This completely changes the traditional management model of reactive, ex-post discovery, enabling proactive, precise, and efficient intervention in the transportation capacity market and ensuring the sustainable achievement of dynamic balance goals.
