Integrated Mobility: a research in progress, CAMAN 2013, Wuhan, China

We here present an ongoing research project about an integrated real time mobility assistant, which has been developed for the call “Personal Integrated Mobility” of the EU framework program. The assistant is aimed to support personal mobility in a near future scenario, where green, shared or public transports are replacing the current private, carbon transportation system.nThe assistant handles itineraries, which are based on goals of time, energy/pollution and cost, and supports users both beforenand during the trip. The service will gather and interpret any relevant source of information on transport resources and theirnavailability. Information includes user generated content andnsocial data. Given the globalization of users and the hourly peaks of mobility, the assistant is a cloud service, which integratesexisting technologies; however a global extension requires a federation of clouds and, above all, the interpretation andnvalidation of social data. These can be considered major research challenge
