Abstract—With current on-board GPS devices a lot of data
is being collected while operating taxis. This paper focuses on
analysing travel behaviour and vehicle supply of the Berlin taxi
market using floating car data (FCD) for one week each in 2013
and 2014. The data suggests that there is generally a demand peak
on workday mornings and a second peak over a longer time in
the afternoon. On weekends, the demand peaks shift towards the
night. On the supply side, drivers seem to adapt to the demand
peaks very efficiently, with fewer taxis being available at times of
low demand, such as during midday. A spatial analysis shows that
most taxi trips take place either within the city centre or from/to
Tegel Airport, the city’s largest single origin and destination.
Drivers spend a large amount of their work time on waiting for
customers and the taxi rank at Tegel Airport is the most popular
one.
