Abstract

Wide spreading of such concepts as ubiquitous computing, connectivity, cyberphysical systems, Internet of Things opens various possibilities both in increasing the human productivity in various tasks and developing new business models that allow companies to transform from product suppliers to service providers or even to virtual companies acting as brokers. The paper proposes a concept of customised on-demand tours by cars or minivans as one of the phenomena of the above transformation. It also describes the technological basis underlying the concept and explains the proposed scenario via an illustrative case study.
