Dataset title: Porto Taxi.

Dataset authors: Julia Moska, Oleksii Furman, Kacper Kozaczko, Szymon Leszkiewicz, Jakub Polczyk, Piotr Gramacki, Piotr Szymański - Wrocław University of Science and Technology

Data authors: Generated from 442 taxis operating in Porto, Portugal. Data collected for the Prediction Challenge, ECML PKDD 2015, by Luis Moreira-Matias, Michel Ferreira, Joao Mendes-Moreira, L. L., and J. J.

Date range: From July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014.

Research methodology and tools used for data acquisition: Originally collected to support improvements in electronic taxi dispatch systems. It captures highly detailed GPS trajectory data from 442 taxis. The datasets were preprocessed to remove incomplete entries and spatial outliers, such as records falling outside defined city boundaries. For benchmarking purposes, the data was standardized and aggregated into H3 hexagonal grids of varying resolutions using the SRAI library to establish unified training and testing splits.

Data format and structure: Each record corresponds to a completed taxi trip and contains metadata (origin call type, taxi and trip IDs, day type) alongside the GPS trajectory encoded as a sequence of geographic coordinates. The used subset contains nearly 400,000 individual trajectories.
