Drops fast algorithm called dynamic price cited dissatisfaction will adjust
User drops fast recently discovered, expressed or prices much higher than ever car. The problem lies in increased rate dynamics. Rapid lateral drops, he said, the dynamic price system still in beta, the price of limousine transfer service and based on supply and demand capacity, helps to improve the rate of orders. But the consumers surveyed, rapid drops in the shuttle and the car market accounted for the vast majority of market share, so the rate increase not give passengers the opportunity to trade, is a violation of the interests of consumers?
Enable dynamic pricing system in silence
Ms. Wang taxi passengers to Zhongguancun near the World Trade Center, take the express train usually need only 40 yuan, but the day before she calls the car drops even 49 yuan dishes, costs surge 100 yuan.
Most users see the range of freight rates is between 15 yuan to 30 yuan. Lateral drops fast, said the flat rate system dynamics for the shuttle and limousine, not a taxi to the pricing of government, the system is still in beta. "August 7 days storm success rate of orders increased from the usual 50% to 82%, because the price of this dynamic intelligent scheduling system, effectively improve the supply of transport capacity." Didi said relevant, waters Storm causing traffic congestion, leading to increased demand for taxis, but many are reluctant to roll off the bus. According drops quickly view traffic monitoring large intelligent data platform, at 19:00 on 7 to 20, the car in this hour call volume rose 56.18 percent year on year compared to the previous day, but taxi rate reduction online Beijing usual 30%. Taxi 6 success rate 60% in the same time period, while 7 fell to 40%.
According to reports, since August 7 from to "dynamic pricing adjustment" Home of shuttle transport car it can be restored in time, only 18: 00-22: 00, the Beijing area by Didi fast platform called the car to travel up to 700 000 orders for execution, express success rate car cabin train only increased to 82%, while the storm custom of the time, this figure was less than 50%.
Didi said fast algorithm set
Consumers have said that in the non-peak period car, unacceptable dynamic growth "At least I want to know why you should increase, what is the reason for the rate increase."
In this regard, drops of relevant responsible person said, and taxi vehicles in real time, the proportion of demand in the region through the system can calculate where the user can obtain the shortage of transport level, with orders customer owned, obtain the turnover of probability of order. If the agreement is too low probability of orders, the system will calculate a suggested based on historical data and the current price situation. These data are adjusted periodically to improve machine learning algorithms.
Moreover, the measure is combined with the value of orders point and ending point during peak hours of departure, and has a yield of long-distance passenger fare increase will be smaller, so more equitable passengers.
"The essence of dynamic adjustment of prices is to make the current supply and demand to determine market price fluctuations." Said the official.
For users increase the time and amount of dissatisfaction quick lateral drops, he said the current system of "dynamic pricing" which is still in testing and optimization, the future will be the online scheduling system in the country to cope with the capacity shortage taxi exceptional circumstances. Besides the price, in line drops to travel cheap car sharing system, so that the period of time set carrying capacity, so that the same car can pick up more passengers, so the rate of implementation of regional orders will increase, thereby reducing the possibility of price adjustment.
■ Expert opinion
Dynamic price adjustment can not be considered a monopoly
China Internet Network chief legal counsel Zhao occupied yesterday said that under the antitrust laws, with companies upstream and downstream and competitors uniform prices reached eliminate or restrict competition agreement, will result in pricing, but falls rapid and dynamic no uniform price in collaboration with other competitors price. For the dynamic behavior of droplets express fast train ticket and the car, passengers can refuse to accept the choice of platforms and other forms of travel to travel, it would be "terms Rey", so the dynamic price drops Quick Start not meet the legal sense the monopolistic behavior.
Zhao occupation that falls increased dynamics faster rate, though not violating antitrust laws, but in fact the express car market falls quickly occupied the absolute market share, a greater impact on the user.
