SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF TAXI SERVICE RIDES IN THE VLAŠIM REGION USING GPS TECHNOLOGY
HOLADA, Tomáš
This bachelor thesis deals with the spatial layout of taxi service rides in the Vlašim region using GPS technology. In the introductory part, the bachelor thesis itself is presented and its goals are described and explained here. The next part is devoted to literature concerning transport, spatial mobility, alternative modes of transport and the importance of taxi service in the region. As a part of the research, taxi rides were mapped in two seperate periods, namely July and October of 2021. After obtaining the necessary data, the analysis was performed and its results are presented in the analytical part of the thesis. Firstly, attention is paid to the frequency of rides depending on the distance and then the most frequently served locations and important connections between locations surroung Vlašim are presented. Furthermore, the busiest days of the week are selected, and finally the results of both periods are compared. The research shows that in both mapped periods the 5 kilometer distance was most frequently used. In addition, the ten most served locations are nearly the same in both periods but their order changes. The thesis tries to justify these facts on the basis of information provided by the taxi drivers of the monitored taxi service. The largest amounts of individual trips were registered when driving around the city, even though several times more kilometers were driven outside the city. The busiest days are Fridays and Saturdays, both in terms of the number of trips made and the number of kilometers driven. The entire research part is accompanied by graphical and map outputs.
