Personalized Services for Mobile Route Planning

Enabling mobility in urban and populous areas needs innovative tools and novel techniques for individual traffic planning. We present a prototype of a traffic information system enabling personalized route planning plus advanced services like traffic jam alerting. The best routes are efficiently computed using the SR-Combine algorithm, subject to various user preferences and current traffic situation gathered dynamically from several Internet sources. We implemented a J2EE application server which smoothly adapts to distributed online processing, once high bandwidth networks like UTMS are available.
