Sažetak
Taxi fleet size has undergone a continuous rapid growth in Chinese cities, while the service facility layout planning has relatively lagged behind, causing a decrease in the service quality. Therefore, it is crucial to carry out taxi service centre layout planning. This study analyses the functional orientation and hierarchical layout mode of taxi service centres, and then proposes stepwise layout planning methods combining existing transportation facilities. Considering the demand for integrated service centres is relatively low and convenient service centres are highly flexible, their layout can be determined by qualitative analysis. The constrained layout model of functional service centres is established by optimizing the layout scheme among various alternative taxi service centres. The study finds the model is a mixed 0–1 integer programming problem, genetic algorithms are applied to solve it. Finally, the proposed methods are applied to a real case of Jiangning district, Nanjing. The results show that one integrated service centre, four functional service centres, and twenty-three convenient service centres could satisfy taxi drivers’ demand, which suggests that the proposed methods should effectively address the layout planning problem of taxi service centres, thus have important implications for other cities’ downtown areas in China and beyond.
