Vinataxi Page 2 Investment GPS System in Vinataxi CHAPTER II: THE ESSENTIAL INVESTMENT PROJECT 2.1. Demand for use Taxi at the moment The taxi service branch is one of the industrial capable of positive growth in the macroeconomic situation in country at present. We estimate the taxi market will stabilize growth, especially in the large cities due to: (1) .Flow of passengers using the road traffic have increased significantly with the average speed at 9 % / year comes from the travel demand of the people as well as the increase in international passenger traffic to Vietnam. Moreover, the growth index of road traffic and the number of international tourists in the first 5 months of 2006 there has been a strong breakthrough compared with 2005. Consequently, we believe that taxi services will grow faster than by the transport market, strong growth in both scale (traffic volume) and number of passengers. Source: GSO 1. (2) People's incomes increase , traveling in the rainy season and the development yet strong enough of the public transport such as buses, motor taxi making people use the taxi services more because of the service and its utility. In short, today, growing social , people's lives improved physically and mentally. Demand for food, clothing, cosmetic, including the transportation of people increasingly more attention. Besides the appearance of the motorcycle, car, bus is transportation mainly of people, the demand uses taxis increasingly became popular. Demand for uses. Vinataxi Page 3 Investment GPS System in Vinataxi 2.2. The difficulties in management and operating taxi system Currently, the taxi companies operate as the traditional way: the customer will call to operator, he/she will recieves and writes information on paper: address, taxis and address of customers then, this information will be send to call center and up to the talkie. In parallel with the large number of people and vehicles, the administration - management and resolve issues arising relating faced many difficulties, may be mentioned the following difficulties ( 1) Call-Centre works - It was mainly based on the radio. Staffs could not locate the taxis so that they must depend entirely on the response of drivers whenever they wanted to go or arrived the points. Many drivers intended to cheat by reporting the wrong cars’ numbers, wrong locations or not reported to the Call-Centre when they got the customers to avoid being tracked. - At the tradition Pick-up-points where drivers used to gather to get and manage queues by themselves, there were some negative status like: the monopoly status (just a group of drivers could join that rank, the other could not), drivers could choose customers to serve, cheat customer, offer negotiated prices higher than by taxi meter - Beside, when those areas were short of car, staffs could not know in advance so that they could not give notice for drivers to bring car back to serve customers. (2) Customer Service works - The investigation mainly based on the radio and self-conscious of drivers. - Staffs resolved the complaints based on their personal experience so that must of our feedback were not convincing. - The rate of successful resolution is very low (<50%) (3) Defer shifts for drivers - The defer shift’s work was difficult, inaccurate and unprejudiced because it much based on the drivers’ reports and staffs’ records. - Drivers and employees took advantage of this work to make their profit and cause financial damage for the company. (4) To revoke taxis due to overdue debt - It was very difficult and took much time for enforcement staffs to take cars back because they could not know cars’ locations while drivers tried to hide by many ways. (5) Issue the VAT invoice for customer - Many drivers colluded with customers to apply for VAT invoice or co-operate with taxi card users to imprint receipts for false trips. In these cases, staffs could not check or verify. 2.3. GPS solutions for taxi management. 2.3.1. The features of GPS technology The application of GPS technology in the management of transportation are becoming more popular in the world and this is a service that provides high value-adde, base telecommunications technology , information technology, background basis of geographic Vinataxi Page 4 Investment GPS System in Vinataxi information systems (GIS).

GPS applications is essential for the transport activity. To develop the public transport system, the State should have focused investment for this solutions, so effective achieves tremendous will to the development of the economy.
