CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Session on "Personal Navigation"
****************************************
A growing travellers' value of time and the concern for environment deterioration, together with the congestion of transport networks and the constraints of budgets for investments in transport infrastructure and services require a more intelligent mobility. Navigation assistance can provide a crucial contribution, improving quality and efficiency of travelling by decreasing the overall time lost in the network, by reducing pollution and by increasing safety.
Information availability and technological advance are swiftly modifying not only the performance but also the concept of navigation assistance. A shift from vehicle to personal navigation is brought about by the development of navigation applications for GPS- and internet-enabled mobile phones. Non-vehicle-based navigation assistants extend the scope of route guidance beyond cars onto public transport, cycling and walking. Multimodality can be given a substantial boost by the diffusion of user-friendly and reliable navigation assistants considering also public transport services.
Personal navigation presents new challenges to scientific and technological research, which this session aims to identify and answer. Papers on all aspects related to personal navigation are welcome. Submissions are expressly encouraged concerning:
* Users' expectations
* Users' route choice process and compliance with trip advice
* Collective route guidance strategies
* Technological architecture of personal navigation systems
* Demand, availability and use of real-time information on transport networks
* Multi-modal routing in stochastic time-dependent networks
* Intelligent interfaces for personal navigation assistants and journey planners
* Results from trials and field experiments
* Social and economic impacts of personal navigation
