Recommender system of walking or public transportation routes for disabled users

Abstract

Nowadays, the advance of the technology has allowed to develop applications and systems to facilitate the daily life of the people. One of the most used field by thousands of people every day is to generate routes to go from one place to another, obtaining not only the route according to the means of transport that the user selects, but also can get recommendations of places of interest that can be found along the way. Unfortunately, these applications do not consider the profile of the end users, and generate the same routes for a person who has a disability as for those who do not. In this article, we propose a model to create a recommendation system based on the user profile to generate automatic and personalized routes on foot or on public transportation for people with disabilities.
