Utilizing mobility data to facilitate the introduction of E-Taxis in Vienna: Feasibility study of a decision support system for the introduction of battery electric vehicles as Taxis

Introducing E-Taxi fleets in urban areas poses a number of economic, organizational and technical challenges related to the nature of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). This paper discusses these challenges and demonstrates how existing mobility data can aid the underlying decision process to overcome them. We present an integrated approach developed for the introduction of an E-Taxi system in the city of Vienna, where mobility data based on taxi floating car data (FCD) was used as decision support.
