Abstract:
Individual mobility is an essential element of a prosperous society. Multimodal transportation can offer greater time, cost, and environmental efficiency than relying on a single mode of transport. Personalized itinerary planning is crucial to enhance the appeal of multimodal transport. Our proposed approach for recommending personalized itineraries tailors them by integrating diverse mobility preferences, routing services, and calibrating parameters of these services to provide individualized options. We optimize itineraries within the existing routing services and available data. The aim of this approach is to enhance travel experiences, making them more efficient, cost-effective, and aligned with each traveler’s unique needs and preferences. The approach was evaluated in a mid-sized German city by analyzing real-world mobility preferences, available routing services, and mobility providers. Personalization criteria relevant to the evaluation area were selected. A simulation was co
nducted, which demonstrated a 10.48% increase in travel utility when compared to the shortest path itinerary recommendation.
