ABSTRACT

Uber trips Analysis using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence explains the working of an Uber
transportation, which contains transportation produced by Uber for all Cities. Uber is defined as a P2P
platform. The platform links you to drivers who can take you to your destination. The dataset includes
primary data on Uber pickups with details including the date, time of the ride as well as longitude-latitude
information, Using the information, Uber dispatching will facilitate each driver and passenger to reduce
the wait time to seek out one another. Uber has been a major source of travel for people living in urban
areas. Some people don’t have their vehicles while some don’t drive their vehicles intentionally because
of their busy schedule. So different kinds of people are using the services of Uber and other taxi services.
We are going to be make use of the flatforms like Flask, Numpy, Scicpy, Scikit Learn, Pandas, for user
output. By analysing Uber trips, we can draw many patterns like which day has the highest and the lowest
trips or the busiest hour for Uber and many other patterns. The dataset I’m using here is based on Uber
trips from cities, a city with a very complex transportation system with a large residential community.
dataset of Uber trips, including details such as pickup/dropoff locations, timestamps, trip durations, fares,
and possibly user ratings. Clean the dataset to handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistencies. Format
and structure the data for efficient analysis. Perform descriptive statistics to understand the distribution
and summary of trip data. Visualize key metrics such as trip counts over time, popular pickup/dropoff
locations, average fares, etc. Analysing Uber trips data offers a deep understanding of transportation
patterns, user preferences, and operational challenges. This project aims to leverage data-driven insights
to enhance service efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and drive strategic decisions for Uber and
similar transportation service providers. One of the most prominent applications of Machine Learning at
Uber is dynamic pricing, commonly known as surge pricing. This system uses ML algorithms to adjust
the price of rides in real-time based on supply and demand. When the demand for rides exceeds the supply
of available drivers, prices increase. This not only helps in balancing demand and supply but also
incentivizes drivers to be available during peak times. The ML models used for surge pricing take into
account a number of factors, including real-time traffic data, historical ride patterns, local events, and even
weather conditions. By analysing these data points, Uber can predict demand surges and adjust prices
accordingly, ensuring that passengers can get a ride when they need it, and drivers can earn more during
busy periods. Efficiently matching riders with drivers is fundamental to Uber's operations. Uber uses ML-
based matching algorithms to pair passengers with the most suitable drivers. These algorithms consider
various factors, including the driver’s location, the rider’s destination, traffic conditions, and even the
driver's past performance and ratings. By continuously learning from past data, these algorithms improve
over time, ensuring faster pickups and shorter wait times for passengers. This results in a smoother and
more reliable ride experience for both drivers and riders.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION

Uber: Revolutionizing Transportation

Uber—the ride-hailing giant—has transformed the way we move around cities. Whether you’re commuting
to work, exploring a new place, or just need a convenient ride, Uber has become an integral part of our lives.
But behind the seamless experience lies a complex web of data science, machine learning, and analytics.

1. Uber’s Machine Learning Model

Uber relies heavily on data science to optimize its operations. Here’s a glimpse of how they use machine
learning:

• Dynamic Pricing: You’ve probably noticed that Uber prices can vary based on demand. This
surge pricing is a result of Uber’s dynamic pricing model. Machine learning algorithms analyze
real-time data (such as rider requests, driver availability, and traffic conditions) to adjust prices
dynamically. It ensures that riders get rides when they need them, even during peak hours1.
• Route Optimization: Uber aims to minimize travel times and reduce congestion. By leveraging
data science techniques, they optimize routes for both drivers and riders. This not only benefits
individual trips but also contributes to more efficient and sustainable transportation systems in
urban areas2.

2. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on Uber Trips

Let’s take a closer look at an interesting project: Uber Trips Analysis in New York City. In this project, the
goal is to gain insights from NYC Uber trip data. Here are the key steps:

• Data Preparation: Raw datasets are cleaned and prepared using Python.
• Visualization with Tableau: The trip records are visualized to uncover patterns and factors
impacting order cancellations by customers3.

3. End-to-End Predictive Analysis

Another comprehensive project involves end-to-end predictive analysis on Uber’s data. It covers various
aspects:

• Understanding the Business Model: Before diving into algorithms, it’s crucial to understand
the business context. Uber’s model involves passenger boarding services, surge pricing, and
market dynamics.
• Machine Learning Workflow: Defining problems, creating solutions, producing models, and
measuring impact—all essential steps in building effective machine learning solutions for
Uber1.

CSS:

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used to define the presentation and layout of HTML
or XML documents on the World Wide Web. It enables web developers to control the appearance of web
pages by specifying styles for fonts, colors, spacing, positioning, and other visual properties of elements.

Key Characteristics:

1. Style Definitions: CSS uses selectors to target HTML elements and apply styling rules, such as
font size, color, background, borders, margins, and padding.

2. Separation of Concerns: CSS separates the structure (HTML) and presentation (CSS) of web
content, allowing developers to maintain clean, organized code and facilitate easier updates and
modifications.

3. Cascading Nature: CSS follows a cascading hierarchy where styles can be inherited, overridden,
or combined based on specificity and order of declaration, providing flexibility in styling elements.

4. Media Queries: CSS includes media queries that enable responsive design, allowing styles to
adapt based on device characteristics such as screen size, resolution, and orientation.

5. Modularity and Reusability: CSS supports modularization through techniques like classes, IDs,
and reusable style sheets, promoting code efficiency and consistency across web pages.

6. Browser Compatibility: CSS specifications are implemented consistently across modern web
browsers, ensuring consistent rendering and user experience across different platforms.

7. Animations and Transitions: CSS introduces animations (@keyframes) and transitions

(transition) to create dynamic effects like fading, sliding, rotating, and changing properties
smoothly without requiring JavaScript.

Usage and Implementation:

• Integration with HTML: CSS is integrated into HTML documents using <style> tags within the
<head> section, or linked externally using <link> tags to separate style sheets.
• Frameworks and Preprocessors: Developers leverage CSS frameworks (e.g., Bootstrap,
Foundation) and preprocessors (e.g., Sass, Less) to streamline development, improve
maintainability, and extend CSS capabilities.
• Tooling and Optimization: Tools like CSS preprocessors, linters, and optimization techniques
(minification, concatenation) help optimize CSS code for improved performance and efficiency.

CSS Code:

JAVA SCRIPT:

JavaScript is a dynamic, high-level, interpreted programming language that is primarily used to create
interactive and dynamic effects within web browsers. Originally developed by Netscape as a lightweight
scripting language for client-side scripting in web browsers, JavaScript has evolved into a versatile
language used for both client-side and server-side development. It allows developers to enhance the
functionality of web pages by manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM), handling events, and
interacting with external APIs.

Key Characteristics:

1. Client-Side Scripting: JavaScript is mainly used for client-side scripting, where scripts are executed
by the user's web browser, enabling dynamic interaction with web page elements.

BASAVAPALEM(V), BHOGAPURAM(M), VIZIANAGARAM (D)

2. Event-Driven Programming: JavaScript follows an event-driven programming paradigm,

responding to user actions (like clicks, mouse movements) and other events triggered by the browser
or external sources.

3. DOM Manipulation: JavaScript allows manipulation of the Document Object Model (DOM),
enabling dynamic updates to HTML and CSS, such as adding or removing elements, changing styles,
and altering content based on user input or application logic.

4. Cross-Platform Compatibility: JavaScript is supported by all modern web browsers, making it a

versatile language for developing cross-platform web applications and ensuring consistent behavior
across different environments.

5. Asynchronous Programming: JavaScript supports asynchronous programming through features

like callbacks, Promises, and async/await syntax, facilitating non-blocking operations and enhancing
performance for tasks such as fetching data from servers.

6. Extensibility: JavaScript can be extended through libraries (e.g., jQuery, React) and frameworks
(e.g., Angular, Vue.js) that provide pre-built components and utilities for rapid development of
complex web applications.
7. Server-Side Development: With the advent of Node.js, JavaScript can also be used for server-side
development, enabling full-stack JavaScript applications where the same language is used on both
the client and server sides.

Usage and Implementation:

• Integration with HTML: JavaScript is embedded within HTML documents using <script> tags or
linked externally as separate script files (<script src="filename.js"></script>).

• Event Handling: Developers use JavaScript to handle user interactions, validate input forms, create
animations, implement sliders, carousels, and other interactive elements.

• AJAX and API Integration: JavaScript facilitates Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX)
requests to fetch data from servers without refreshing the entire page, interacting with RESTful
APIs and integrating third-party services.

• Dynamic Web Applications: JavaScript powers single-page applications (SPAs) and dynamic web
pages where content updates dynamically based on user actions or real-time data changes.

HTML defines the structure of your content, CSS determines the style and layout, and JavaScript makes
the content interactive; therefore, it makes the most sense to learn them in that order. JavaScript
incorporates valuable skills such as object-oriented, functional, and imperative styles of programming.
Beginner developers, in turn, can apply these skills to any new language they want to learn

on their experience.

14. End: The flowchart concludes with the completion of the trip, ensuring a seamless experience for both
users and drivers.

3.2 Data Preparation:

The data we used for our project was provided on the Kaggle website. The original dataset contains 693071
rows and 5 columns, which contain the data for both Uber and Lyft. But for our analysis, we just need the
Uber data, so we filtered out the data according to our purpose and got a new dataset that has 350 rows.
Data preparation also involves finding relevant data to ensure that analytics applications deliver meaningful
information and actionable insights for business decision-making. The data often is enriched and optimized
to make it more informative and useful -- for example, by blending internal and external data sets, creating
new data fields, eliminating outlier values and addressing imbalanced data sets that could skew analytics
results.

One of the main purposes of data preparation is to ensure that raw data being processed for analytics uses
is accurate and consistent. Data is commonly created with missing values, inaccuracies or other errors.
Also, separate data sets often have different formats that must be reconciled when they're combined.
Correcting data errors, improving data quality and consolidating data sets are big parts of data preparation
projects that help generate valid analytics results.

identify correlations, trends, and predictive patterns within Uber trip datasets. Models such as
regression, classification, clustering, and time series analysis are employed to extract insights related
to user behavior, service utilization, demand forecasting, and operational efficiency.

4. Validation and Evaluation: Trained models undergo rigorous validation and evaluation processes
to assess their performance and accuracy. This ensures that the models generalize well to unseen data
and provide reliable predictions and insights.

5. Deployment and Integration: Once validated, the trained models are deployed into production
environments where they integrate seamlessly with data pipelines or analytical dashboards.
Integration allows stakeholders, decision-makers, and operational teams to leverage real-time or batch
predictions for optimizing service delivery, pricing strategies, and resource allocation.

Machine Learning is a branch of Artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms and
statistical models that can learn from and make predictions on data. Linear regression is also a type of
machine-learning algorithm more specifically a supervised machine-learning algorithm that learns from
the labelled datasets and maps the data points to the most optimized linear functions. which can be used for
prediction on new datasets.
First of we should know what supervised machine learning algorithms is. It is a type of machine learning
where the algorithm learns from labelled data. Labeled data means the dataset whose respective target
value is already known.

3.3 Data Visualization:

Uber Technologies, commonly referred to as Uber, is an American multinational transportation company

that provides ride-hailing services, courier services, food delivery, and freight transport.[1] It is
headquartered in San Francisco, California, and operates in approximately 70 countries and 10,500 cities
worldwide.[1] It is the largest ridesharing company worldwide with over 150 million monthly active
users and 6 million active drivers and couriers. It facilitates an average of 28 million trips per day and has
facilitated 47 billion trips since its inception in 2010.[2] In 2023, the company had a take rate (revenue as a
percentage of gross bookings) of 28.7% for mobility services and 18.3% for food delivery.
Key Aspects of Data Visualization:
1. Visual Representation: Data is presented visually through charts (e.g., bar charts, line charts), graphs
(e.g., pie charts, scatter plots), maps, infographics, and other graphical elements.
2. Data Exploration: Visualization tools allow users to explore large datasets interactively, enabling
them to drill down into specific data points, filter information, and uncover relationships.
3. Insight Discovery: By presenting data visually, patterns, trends, correlations, and outliers become
more apparent, facilitating data-driven decision-making and hypothesis testing.
4. Communication: Visual representations make it easier to convey complex information to
stakeholders, presenting data in a format that is accessible and understandable.
5. Types of Visualizations: Common types include:
o Bar Charts and Column Charts: Compare categories of data using bars or columns.
o Line Charts: Show trends and changes over time or across categories.
o Pie Charts: Display parts of a whole, useful for illustrating percentages.
o Scatter Plots: Plot points based on two variables, revealing relationships or clusters.
o Heatmaps: Represent data density on a map or grid, useful for geographic or spatial data.
Importance of Data Visualization:
• Enhanced Understanding: Visualizations simplify complex data sets, making trends and
outliers more visible.
• Decision-Making: Enables informed decision-making by presenting insights in a format that
is easy to interpret and act upon.
• Storytelling: Helps create compelling narratives around data, making presentations and
reports more engaging and impactful.
• Exploratory Analysis: Facilitates exploration of data relationships and patterns, supporting

Code:

Linear regression is a type of supervised machine learning algorithm that computes the linear relationship
between the dependent variable and one or more independent features by fitting a linear equation to
observed data.

The interpretability of linear regression is a notable strength. The model’s equation provides clear
coefficients that elucidate the impact of each independent variable on the dependent variable, facilitating a

BASAVAPALEM(V), BHOGAPURAM(M), VIZIANAGARAM (D)

deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics. Its simplicity is a virtue, as linear regression is
transparent, easy to implement, and serves as a foundational concept for more complex algorithms.

Linear regression is not merely a predictive tool; it forms the basis for various advanced models. Techniques
like regularization and support vector machines draw inspiration from linear regression, expanding its
utility. Additionally, linear regression is a cornerstone in assumption testing, enabling researchers to
validate key assumptions about the data.

Types of Linear Regression:

There are two main types of linear regression:

Simple Linear Regression:

This is the simplest form of linear regression, and it involves only one independent variable and one
dependent variable. The equation for simple linear regression is: 𝑦=𝛽0+𝛽1𝑋y=β0+β1X
where:
• Y is the dependent variable
 AVANTHI’S RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL ACADEMY
(AFFILIATED TO Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University - Gurajada, Vizianagaram, A.P)
BASAVAPALEM(V), BHOGAPURAM(M), VIZIANAGARAM (D)

• X is the independent variable

• β0 is the intercept
• β1 is the slope

Multiple Linear Regression:

This involves more than one independent variable and one dependent variable. The equation for multiple
linear regression is: 𝑦=𝛽0+𝛽1𝑋+𝛽2𝑋+………𝛽𝑛𝑋y=β0+β1X+β2X+………βnX5
where:
• Y is the dependent variable
• X1, X2, …, Xp are the independent variables
• β0 is the intercept
• β1, β2, …, βn are the slopes

commutes to special occasions, ensuring flexibility, accessibility, and convenience for users globally.

Contact Information:

Contact between riders and drivers in the context of Uber trips can be a critical factor influencing various
aspects of the service. Contact can refer to direct communication or interaction between the rider and driver
before, during, or after the trip. Here’s how contact can impact Uber trips:

Customer Satisfaction: Direct contact can enhance customer satisfaction by allowing riders to
communicate specific preferences or needs (like preferred routes, pick-up locations, or extra stops). This
can lead to a more personalized experience tailored to the rider's expectations.

BASAVAPALEM(V), BHOGAPURAM(M), VIZIANAGARAM (D)

Trip Efficiency: Effective communication can reduce misunderstandings and delays. For instance, clear
instructions about the pick-up location can help drivers find riders more quickly, minimizing wait times
and optimizing trip efficiency.

Safety and Security: Contact can contribute to a sense of security for both riders and drivers. Riders may
feel safer knowing they can communicate with the driver, especially in unfamiliar areas. Drivers, on the
other hand, can confirm the identity of the rider before starting the trip.

Driver-Rider Relationship: Positive interactions can foster a better relationship between drivers and
riders, potentially leading to higher ratings and increased likelihood of repeat business.

Service Customization: Contact enables riders to request specific accommodations or modifications to the
trip (such as making extra stops or adjusting the route). This flexibility can improve the overall experience
and meet diverse customer needs.

Feedback Mechanism: Contact also serves as a feedback mechanism. Riders can provide immediate
feedback to drivers during or after the trip, which helps Uber maintain service quality and address any
issues promptly.

Legal and Compliance: Contact may also be necessary for legal or compliance reasons, such as verifying
the age of passengers or confirming the destination matches the ride request.

CHAPTER-4

Analysing Uber Trips using PySpark

This paper is based totally on facts storytelling which is an essential element of Machine
Learning through which organizations are capable to apprehend the historical past of quite
a number operation. With the assist of visualization, businesses can avail the advantage of
appreciation the complicated information and acquire insights that would assist them to craft
decisions. This assignment is associated to large facts as we are inspecting very big quantity of
records to be aware of the instinct of uber customers. This challenge will exhibit the plotting of
daily, month-to-month and every year rides of uber in a complete city. On-demand, app-based
trip offerings like Uber and Ola have end up an necessary section of today’s transportation
gadget with its flexibility and speedy responsiveness. Compared with regular taxicabs, Uber-
like taxis have loggers to reveal and document time out statistics such as pickup place and
outing distance, which can be a precious facts supply for information discovering. Nowadays,
a Real-time prediction for experience provider demand (always mirrored by way of the wide
variety of pickups) is increasingly more critical for the motive of enhancing the effectively and
sustainability of the city transportation system. Newly aroused utility matters like experience
sharing and independent mobility dispatching are primarily based on strong demand predictions.
In this paper, the authors advocate a deep gaining knowledge of primarily based strategy to make
dynamic predictions for uber pickups the use of historical data

forecasting horizons from a week to subsequent hour. These models can be used in extraordinary
occasions. For instance any person may want to use the weekly forecasting model to have established
view of the subsequent week’s demand. On the different hand, a actual time gadget may want to
examine the prediction per borough, with the positions of Uber automobiles and spotlight the areas
hence to drivers’ functions assisting them to roam greater correctly through the city. Since the model
is based totally on previous observations it is inclined to incorrect estimations on very irregular
conditions. Additionally considering modern observations have an effect on future prediction,

demand out of the normal degrees may also lead to incorrect estimation at some factor to later
predictions.

Related Work:

Initial research about the demand for digital mail services is developing rapidly, To find out about
the forecast overall performance of the research models, you pick to select information for peculiar
day. The Uber information incorporates records about the role and time of the trips and returns of
every day trip in the course of a day. According to the reachable dataset, the Uber trips historic
information of Apr. 2014. This research proposes a strategy for examining and predicting the Uber
taxi demand . This lookup research papers the first-class of travel time in the city of New Delhi.
They acquire information on 610 journeys from 34 customers the usage of the user’s cell and net
applications. They empirically exhibit the unpredictability of tour time estimates for first-rate
taxis. This is the poor consequences of this unpredictability on passengers ready for taxis, which
leads to the cancellation of a big 28.4 percentage of them. The empirical observations vary
appreciably from the excessive accuracies mentioned in journey time estimation literature.(a)
statistics trouble for growing international locations or (b) that can’t seize the historic patterns in
growing vicinity tour instances or (c) a mindful policy choice by way of Uber platform or Uber
drivers [4]. Initial lookup has proven that through the use of designated facts on taxis at the journey
degree and on the rental car and statistics on complaints about the degree of new complaints at the
degree of incidents, we learn about how Uber and Lyft enter broken the first-rate of taxi offerings in
New York City. The usual impact of the companies primarily based on the state of affairs and in
unique of the using administrations was once big and widespread. One of these results is the
enlargement of the competition between Uber and Lyft over the fantastic of taxi administration.
They use a new set of grievance information to measure (the lack of) high-quality of carrier that
we have in no way been analyzed before. Focus on the pleasant dimensions generated through most
of the complaints we demonstrate.
The multiplied opposition for these shared journey offerings has had an intuitive have an impact on
the conduct of taxi drivers [5]. It explains a massive quantity of space-time facts is generated via
millions of buses in metropolitan cities round the world. These dataset, if analyzed correctly, can
furnish a higher appreciation of the demand for taxis. With the developing choice of clients to have
a easy experience, thanks to their point-to-point service, taxis are turning into the first- rate choice
for everyone. This record analyzes Uber’s journeys to New York from April 2014 to September 2014
for the evaluation and detection of essential points. The main facts bought have been labeled into three
principal categories: morning of the week, afternoon of the week and top weekend hours. For the
detection of crucial points. Spatial records in the shape of longitude and latitude are used for
geographical mapping of withdrawal positions primarily based on the day of the week and the time
of day. Clustering methods based totally on medium PAM k have been applied in the spital
information to decide the pleasant strategy for the detection of strong and efficient fundamental
factors.

1. Proposed work and analysis

We use NYC dataset contain data on over 4.5 million trips in NYC from Apr. to
Sept. 2014. There are the files of dataset on Uber trips in NYC from Apr. to
Sept. 2014 [7]. The files are separated by month and the following columns:
• Date/Time : The date and time of the trip

• Lat : latitude of the pickup

• Lon : longitude of the pickup
• Base : code affiliated with the pickup [8]
There are some of questions this dataset can be used to answer, we’ll choose the following:
• Uber trips and distribution
• Time when Uber trips occurs regularly
• Days when uber trips show up regularly
• Uber trips distribution in the Zones

1.1 Essential Packages

Some of the necessary libraries of R that we will use are –
ggplot2 - It is a plotting bundle that makes it easy to create complicated plots from
records in a records frame. It offers a extra programmatic interface for specifying
what variables to plot, how they are displayed, and well-known visible properties.
Ggthemes
• lubridate - It is an R bundle that makes it less difficult to work with date and time.
dplyr - A fast, constant device for working with information body like objects, each in
reminiscence and out of memory.
tidyr - It is new package deal that makes it handy to “tidy” your data. Tidy
facts is statistics it truly is effortless to work (with dplyr )
DT - Data objects in R can be rendered as HTML tables the usage of the
JavaScript library ’DataTables’ (typically with the aid of R Markdown or
Shiny).
Scales - Graphical scales map records to aesthetics, and supply strategies for
robotically finding out the labels for axes.

1.2 Plotting the uber pickup trips by the hours in a day

In this section, we will use the ggplot feature to plot the wide variety of journeys that the
passengers had made in a day. We will additionally use dplyr to mixture our data. In the ensuing
visualizations, we can apprehend how the quantity of passengers fares for the duration of the day.
We take a look at that the variety of journeys are greater in the nighttime round 5:00 and 6:00
PM. (see table 1)

1.3 Distribution of pickups by The Hours of the Day

Now it’s time to locate out what time most journeys have been made. Let’s begin
through discovering a everyday view of what time most journeys had been made.
(see figure 2) From a general view of the data, looks like journeys peak between 6–
8am and then peak again even more from 3pm and rises steadily until its on its peak
at around 5pm before the pickups steadily drop till late night. (see figure 2)

1.4 Plotting uber trips by hour and month

From the above plot, we can easily see how there was once greater pickups in the
month of September. We examine form the resulting visualization that the time
increases, total number of pickups increases rapidly. We take a look at that the variety
of journeys are greater in the nighttime round 5:00 and 6:00 PM in every month

1.5 Plotting uber data by trips during every day of the month

day of the month. We examine from the resulting visualization that 30th of the
month had the perfect journeys in the year which is more often than not
contributed with the aid of the month of April. (see figure 4)

1.6Number of uber Trips taking place during months in a year

In this section, we will visualize the range of journeys that are taking place
every month of the year. In the output visualization, we look at that most journeys
have been made for the duration of the month of September. Furthermore, we
additionally gain visible reviews of the range of journeys that had been made on
each day of the week. (see table 2)

Finding out the number of uber Trips by bases

In the following visualization, we plot the range of journeys that have been taken
through the passengers from every of the bases. There are 5 bases in all out of
which, we study that B02617 (Weiter) had the easiest range of trips. Furthermore,
this base had the best variety of journeys in the month B02617. Thursday found
best journeys in the three bases – B02598 (Hinter), B02617 (Weiter), B02682
(Schmecken). From our data, there are 5 bases and every one of them has a unique
region code that is used to become aware of it. To make it simpler for us to
perceive the bases, we’ll change the base codes on the Base column with the
authentic names of the bases. Now let’s create a plot to locate out the distribution
of the pickups amongst the bases over these

months [9]. From the above plot (see figure 6), we can easily see how there was once greater pickups.
That’s possibly due to the fact these areas are in quite populated areas. Under had the least quantity
of pickups at less than 0.2 million.

Plotting uber data trips by bases and month

In the following visualization, we plot the journeys that have been taken by bases and month. From the
plot 7, we can easily see how there was once greater pickups in Weiter (B02617) in the months of
July, August and September. Bases Danach (B02764) was lowest pickups in comparison to all other
bases but in the month of august, pickups increase rapidly.

At the end of the Uber data evaluation, the dataset we used for this undertaking protected statistics of
Uber cars’ ridership in the metropolis of New York for the six months of 2014. As we used to be
exploring it, we seen that, in opposition to my preliminary intuition, the climate variables had now not
any or very vulnerable effect on the ridership. Going similarly in my evaluation it used to be getting
extra clear that the demand follows unique patterns each in the course of the day and at some stage in
the week. We found how to create records visualizations. We made use of programs like ggplot2 that
allowed us to plot a number of sorts of visualizations that pertained to a number of time-frames of the
year. With this, we should conclude how time affected client trips. Finally, we made a geo plot of New
York that furnished us with the small print of how a variety of customers made journeys from one of
a kind bases

Traffic Flow Analysis Using Uber Movement Data:

Researchers at Stanford University conducted an intriguing study using Uber Movement data. They
constructed temporal directed graphs with dynamic weights to analyze and identify traffic
bottlenecks and rush hours in multiple cities. By comparing these temporal graphs at different
points in time to a spatial graph representing the city’s underlying structure, they uncovered general
traffic movement patterns throughout the day. Additionally, they identified communities based on
mean travel time and observed how these communities changed throughout the day1.
If you’re interested in the nitty-gritty details, you can explore their full research paper here.

1. Uber Data Analysis Projects:

There’s an exciting GitHub project called “Uber-Data-Analysis” by Akbar-ds. In this project, they
analyze Uber trip data to reveal usage patterns. Their primary objectives include distinguishing
between business and personal trips, mapping out start and stop locations, and performing time
series analysis to understand usage trends over time. You can even interact with their analysis
app here2.
While they don’t specifically provide a flow diagram, their insights could be used to create one.
Imagine visualizing the flow of Uber trips across different times of day, identifying bottlenecks, and
understanding how communities change throughout the day.
2. Flow Diagram (Classic Data):
Although not directly related to Uber trips, you might find it interesting to explore a classic data
flow diagram. Creately offers an example of an “Uber Activity Flow Chart,” which could serve as
inspiration for your own Uber-specific flow diagram3. Remember, you can customize it to fit your
needs!

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

CONCLUSION: This program will make the system of deploying more cabs to the required location and
makes it flexible for users. The users have no need to worry about the location as the program will help in
scheduling a cab for pickup nearest to the location. The program shows the concepts of machine learning
such as data visualization and data analysis which makes the program and efficient for future work the Uber
trips analysis project has provided actionable insights that can drive strategic decisions, operational
improvements, and enhanced user experiences within the ridesharing industry. By leveraging data-driven
approaches, Uber is well-positioned to innovate, expand its market presence, and maintain leadership in the
dynamic landscape of urban transportation. This project underscores the importance of data analytics in
shaping future strategies and ensuring sustainable growth in a competitive market environment.

FUTURE WORK: In future, system will provide the location of pickup to the users. Users can send their
location to the app, and the program used in the project will predict the nearest location to the user and
assign a cab to the user. The program and data elements in the program developed must be tested by Uber
such that it can be used as an operational environment. It will make the program of predicting the trips
using data analysis more flexible and efficient for users. Uber's future lies in expanding beyond traditional
ridesharing to encompass autonomous vehicles, urban air mobility, delivery services, micro-mobility, and
more. By embracing technological advancements and diversifying its service offerings, Uber aims to
redefine urban transportation and enhance mobility options for consumers worldwide.
