The above charts show the passenger miles, vehicle miles, and AVO for three different types of analysis every 6 minutes all day. The passenger and vehicle miles are highest during the afternoon while the AVO is highest during the morning rush. There is a surprisingly weak correlation between miles and AVO. This is likely because people are traveling in similar directions in the morning (from home to work and school), while in the afternoon people are running errands and going in all different directions (from work to the gym to dinner to home or from work to the mall to the post office to school and back home). People moving in similar directions cause congestion, however, and the TOD analysis suggests that aTaxis may be an effective way to reduce congestion even if the daylong AVO is lower than two. Average Vehicle Occupancy for an aTaxi Stand by # of Trips: The following charts show the relationship between number of trips for an aTaxi stand and the AVO of that stand for the top 60 stand by number of trips from Mercer County. There is a strong correlation between number of trips and AVO, which makes sense as the more trips from an aTaxi stand, the more potential there is for overlap of trips. The outlier with an AVO of 1.618 in the first chart and 2.54 in the second is the Mercer County Community College aTaxi stand, where most of the departures occur around 3 PM (see below for more information). Top 100 Stands in Mercer County by AVO: The graphic shows the AVO of the top 120 aTaxi stands in Mercer County by number of trips. The bubbles are scaled so that the areas correspond to AVO DD = 5 min, p -> CD = 1p minus 1 in order to make the differences visible. The largest bubble is the Mercer County Community College aTaxi stand, which has an AVO of 1.62. Top 11 aTaxi Stands in Mercer County by Number of Trips:
