Abstract: It is common to cancel orders by driver and passenger on the ride-hailing platform, which will reduce operational efficiency. This paper studies the behaviour of cancelling orders for ride-hailing platform. Firstly, a model of cancelling orders decision for driver and passenger based on prospect theory is built. Secondly, a simulation algorithm of vehicle carrying passengers with the behaviour of cancelling orders is proposed. Thirdly, simulation is carried out and relative results are obtained. Finally, some strategies and suggestions for ride-hailing platform are given. The results show that cancelling orders behaviour influences driver income and platform profit. Cancelling order rate of driver and that of passenger are influenced by various factors respectively. The cancelling order rate can be decreased by adjusting the factors, such as exoneration time, subsidy, penalty value, etc. These conclusions would help us to developing relative strategies, which has certain guiding significance for management of ride-hailing platform.
