PROJECT: HubCab

MIT’s SENSEable City Laboratory has shared HubCab, “an interactive map that captures the more than 170 million unique taxi trips that were made by around 13,500 taxi cabs within the City of New York in 2011.” More than a fascinating snapshot of a year in transit in New York City, the “analysis introduces the novel concept of ‘shareability networks’ that allows for efficient modeling and optimization of the trip-sharing opportunities.”
