On-Board Dynamic Tour Support System: The Concept and Technological Infrastructure

Abstract

Modern technologies do not only enable new solutions improving humans life but also change the way of doing business. Together these two factors lead to the appearance of a new, previously unavailable, class of systems called product-service systems. The paper describes the concept and technological framework of a system aimed at context-dependent planning and dynamic adaptation of guided tourist rides in a car based on the usage of car connectivity technologies and cloud-based services. The system is based on the integration of the previously developed by the authors tourist support system TAIS with Ford SYNC Applink.
