Knowing where to go to find customers is the most important question for taxi drivers and ride hailing networks. If demand for taxis can be reliably predicted in real-time, taxi companies can dispatch drivers in a timely manner and drivers can optimize their route decision to maximize their earnings in a given day. Consequently, customers will likely receive more reliable service with shorter wait time. This project aims to use rich trip-level data from the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission to construct time-series taxi rides data for 63 taxi zones in Manhattan and forecast demand for rides. We will explore deep learning models for time series, including Multilayer Perceptrons, LSTM, Temporal Graph-based Neural Networks, and compare them with a baseline statistical model ARIMAX.
