WAY FIS
WayFiS is the first route planning service for elderly people that considers both the pedestrian and public transportation mobility issues and that it is based on the existence of a wide range of personalisation features, building up user profiles, and that include the health limitations, common behaviours and needs. The process of way finding will have to consider a variety of objectives regarding the totality of the journey such as the following: performing the minimum physical activity; matching nutrition needs and disease’s restrictions; avoiding inaccessible routes, etc…. The technologies that will be deployed will be the following: knowledge discovery and artificial intelligence to process the huge amount of data; user profiling; positioning and localisation (outdoor/indoor), context aware technologies and route optimisation for route planning. WayFiS project will be based on the development of a pilot to be tested by approximately 200 end-users belonging to the “CETIEX” (Spain) and “TASII” (Hungary) organisations that are partners of the project: in this way, a wide test bed covering different ages, interests, needs, cultures is provided. The feedback from these end users will be crucial for the next project phase, the one of implementation (WayFiS to market).
