TRAINING NEURAL NETWORK FOR TAXI PASSENGER DEMAND FORECASTING USING GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNITS

The peculiarities of neural network training for forecasting taxi passenger demand using graphics processing units are considered, which allowed to speed up the training procedure for different sets of input data, hardware configurations, and its power. It has been found that taxi services are becoming more accessible to a wide range of people. The most important task for any transportation company and taxi driver is to minimize the waiting time for new orders and to minimize the distance from drivers to passengers on order receiving.
