Extended Data Fig. 2: Intra-annual patterns.
From: Addressing the minimum fleet problem in on-demand urban mobility
For each day in year 2011, the number of daily trips (blue line) and the corresponding minimum fleet size (green line) are shown. Both quantities follow different weekly patterns: whereas the number of daily trips (blue line) consistently increases from Monday to Friday and drops on Sunday, the minimum number of vehicles needed to serve those trips (green line) remains substantially constant at a value of around 6,200, with a considerable drop on Sundays, when this value is reduced to about 4,000.
