iTour - Intelligent Transport system for Optimized URban trips

Research Area: 3D Geovisualisation, Geovisual Analytics and LBS
Status: In progress
Project leaders: Raffaele de Amicis
Proposed start date: 2010-02-01 Proposed end date: 2012-07-01
Description:

i-Tour client will support and suggest, in a user-friendly way, the use of different forms of transport (bus, car, railroad, tram, etc.) taking into account user preferences as well as real-time information on road conditions, weather, public transport network condition. To do so i-Tour promotes a new approach to data collection based on recommender system based on the information provided by the whole user community.

i-Tour mobility client applications will feature a very user-friendly interface accessible from PCs, PDAs and Smartphones. i-Tour clients are designed to promote use of public transport by encouraging sustainable travel choices and by providing rewarding mechanisms for users choosing public travel options. Sustainable travel preferences, e.g. measured in terms of CO2 emission saved by using public transport, are rewarded, e.g. through free public transport tickets, thus promoting and encouraging environmental friendly travel behaviours.

TECHNOLOGICAL FOCUS

World Wind Java SDK extended to support mobile technologies (Android). Both desktop and mobile clients will be extended to support real time routing information via OGC® OpenLS (OpenGIS® Location Services).
