Abstract

Mobility planning is rarely individually tailored. Instead people have to make an active effort to adapt standard solutions to their requirements. Routing apps like Google Maps allow for personalization only by saving important places like home and a workplace but do not allow the user to influence the routing suggestions or choice of mode of transport based on preferences, limitations, or situation. It becomes even more difficult when different means of transport are to interact since most routing applications offer very little multimodal optimization aside from the last mile. Thus, the objective of this article is to present a concept for the utilization of artificial intelligence and regression models in order to enable individual and sustainable mobility planning. To achieve this objective, initially existing routing and mobility planning applications are examined and are conceptually expanded in order to outlay the benefits of personalized route planning. The concrete objective alongside with a method for the development of a new solution is summarized. An algorithm fulfilling these objectives based on multiple linear regression is conceptualized. Relevant factors with coefficient are identified, as well as necessary data sources and interfaces. This algorithm is then implemented in a limited prototype as a proof of concept. Finally, this prototype is tested based on a set of mobility scenarios in order to validate the achievement of the defined objective.
