A smart mobility system implemented in a geosocial network

Abstract

The continuous evolution of internet and web 2.0 technologies facilitates the creation of dynamic content. Social networks with georreference can be helpful to handle information from different sources and provide user-oriented services. Among these applications we can consider the intelligent systems for mobility.In this paper we introduce our geosocial network platform called Vidali. The open source social platform Vidali is developed provides a set of tools for the benefit of interactivity and collaboration between people and the provision of location-based services, which creates an environment that enhances collective intelligence. Starting with this platform as base, we developed a solution to improving mobility in local environments, which includes among other features the management of shared vehicles. We discuss the design and implementation of Vidali and of a smart mobility system.
