Design of taxi routing and fare estimation program with re-prediction methods for a smart phone

Our design uses two methods to improve the accuracy of the taxi fare estimation. One is using an adaptive calibration to improve the accuracy of the taxi fare estimation when running the prediction program, the other is using an improved distance accuracy method which reduces the error of the cumulative distance in the program per GPS signals. Our design also combines with short message service (SMS), social networks and cloud storage to develop an application program on the smart phone with the following multifunction: real-time route planning, fare estimation and a security tracking system.
