Taxi Dispatch System

Taxi Dispatch System

Unicorn offers two modes of taxi dispatch, automatic and manual. Whilst you can entirely rely on the automatic taxi dispatch, the manual method puts you in the full control of the system. For best of the both worlds, you may choose to use a combination of the two modes.


Automatic Taxi Dispatch

Unicorn features an Intelligent Taxi Dispatch Engine that uses a set of policies including the driver's distance from the pick-up location to assign the taxi booking to the most appropriate driver. Whilst distance from the location is important, the dispatch engine also measures driver's past and future workload, fairness and a range of other set policies when allocating the taxi bookings to drivers. The system automatically informs the drivers of changes or cancellations and in case of driver's difficulty return the taxi booking to the queue for immediate re-allocation.



Manual Taxi Dispatch

Whilst automatic taxi dispatch can take care of the whole operation, human intervention may be desirable in special cases such as taxi bookings that no driver is willing to accept or when a controller wishes to assign a taxi booking to a specific driver. The manual taxi dispatch takes advantage of a clean graphic interface with maps showing the location of the pickup and closest drivers together with the drivers availability. Alternatively you can select the driver from a list, regardless of the location. Taxi Bookings can also be allocated at the time of the order entry.
