Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel mobile running application, Runamic. Runamic allows to generate dynamic routes, starting from any point in the city, whilst taking user preferences into account. A user can choose how long he would like to run alongside his preferred points of interest, such as waterways, parks and/or tourist hotspots. Based on these preferences, the characteristics of the road network/environment and feedback on previous runs, a route is generated. The suggested routes are smooth, avoiding too many turns and overlapping route segments. The generated routes can be changed dynamically. After the run, the user has the ability to rate the generated route, which will influence future route generation. In most cases, the graph and R-tree based algorithm generates nice smooth routes, leading to very positive user feedback on the dynamic routing aspect.
