The study aims to predict the location of taxi users, based on an algorithm that was built using a map learning method, which is one of the techniques of deep learning. As the location data of taxi riders showed sequential characteristics over time, learning was performed using a recurrent neural network, which is suitable for predicting dynamic changes over time. The main data used in the analysis
