碩士 === 元智大學 === 工業工程與管理學系 === 97 === This research follows the design and implementation of a traffic simulator written in AnyLogic, an agent-based modeling environment written in Java program language to facilitate observing the behaviors of electric taxis and passengers. The system is developed with a view to as the decision analysis and support for electric taxi company under the mission of energy saving and reduction of CO2, in particular car-pool and car-sharing management policies. We adopt passenger average waiting time and electric taxi average idle time as the performance measures and decision support fro electric taxi company. The analysis result shows that under adding car-pool into the electric taxi DAR operation system, the passenger average waiting time and electric taxi average idle time are the lowest. On the other hand, in order to achieve the object of decision support for user, we provide a graphic user interface (GUI) to support user making decision real time. User can simulate the real condition via GUI in our electric taxi DAR operation system to observe the simulation process and result to make a reasonable decision-making immediately.
