Abstract

Described herein is a framework to facilitate vehicle position planning. In accordance with one aspect of the framework, transition information is determined based on the vehicle data, wherein the transition information includes pairs of starting and ending road segments and corresponding passenger states. Short-term demand for vehicles may be calculated based on the transition information and the historical transactional records. The short-term demand may then be used to generate a cruising recommendation.
