Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department Software Computer Technology Date 2003-10-23 Abstract In this paper we discuss the results of a plan merging algorithm. This algorithm coordinates the plans of multiple, autonomous agents, each able to independently find a plan. This algorithm is evaluated using realistic data from a taxi company. We show that when we allow passengers to be a few minutes later at their destination and share rides, we can obtain more than 5% reduction of the taxi driving distance. When we allow for a delay of 15 minutes (a common amount of time in subsidized transport) we can gain up to 30%.
