Abstract

ROSE (ROuting SErvice) is an application for mobile phones, which suggests events and locations to the user and guides him to them via public transportation. Many different systems partly incorporating recommending and navigation features exist. However, no system exists which combines event recommendation and pedestrian navigation with (live) public transport support. In this paper we describe ROSE a mobile application which combines these features. Our motivation is to free the passenger from many tedious tasks, e.g. finding an interesting event and navigating to it. ROSE determines the best possible transport link and then accompanies the passenger throughout his entire journey. It reacts in real time to delays in the public transport system and calculates alternative routes when necessary. For route planning in this context, we will propose a h ε u-optimal algorithm for incorporating non-monotone multi dimensional user preferences in an A*-like algorithm. We also present an assignment of theoretical foundations to real world route planning problems.
