Current popular multi-modal routing systems often do not move beyond combining regularly scheduled public transportation with walking, cycling or car driving. Seldom included are other travel options such as carpooling, carsharing, or bikesharing, as well as the possibility to compute personalized results tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the individual user. Partially, this is due to the fact that the inclusion of various modes of transportation and user requirements quickly leads to complex, semantically enriched graph structures, which to a certain degree impede downstream procedures such as dynamic graph updates or route queries. In this paper, we aim to reduce the computational effort and specification complexity of personalized multi-modal routing by use of a preceding heuristic, which, based on information stored in a user profile, derives a set of feasible candidate travel options, which can then be evaluated by a traditional routing algorithm. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed system with two practical examples.
