A Context-Awareness Approach to Tourism and Heritage Routes Generation.

The aims of the TheRoute (Tourism and Heritage Routes including Ambient Intelligence with Visitants’ Profile Adaptation and Context Awareness) project is to conduct studies, research and experimentation around the challenge of automatic generation of routes for visitors. The suggested routes fit the profile of visitors and groups of visitors, including aspects like emotion, mood and personality, and be aware of the context (e.g. weather, security). TheRoute is developed according the Ambient Intelligence perspective. At this point of the project execution we have already developed the full system architecture as a System of Systems approach according to an Ambient Intelligence perspective, to allow the best possible performance in the system utilization for the final user. Intelligent route generation uses user preferences for the categories of points of interest, as well as their personality traits.
