We have developed a location-aware sightseeing support system for visitors to KOTOHIRAGU Shrine, using only popular mobile phones employing the gpsOne system. Its design is not a map-based navigation system, but a shared virtual world system like multi-player online role-playing games. We conducted an experiment recruiting 29 subjects from real tourists visiting the shrine, who had their own co...

Route planning is a challenging task because it is a combination of theoretically well-defined computational problems on one side, and everyday-life decisions and constraints on the other side. This paper presents an approach to sightseeing route planning using theory of computation. In particular, in this paper we discuss the combination of two well-known computational problems: knapsack and t...

According to the design requirements of super long-span pedestrian landscape cable-stayed bridge in Lake view Park, a kind sightseeing tower-style three-tower structure system was proposed. Sightseeing tower type and duck egg arched replace traditional structure. Through establishment Midas finite element analysis model, dynamic modal research carried out. The shows that: are combined into one,...

Recently, various personal navigation systems are available on the market. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling function to compose sightseeing tours across multiple days. Scheduling for multiple days is challenging since the number of possible sequences to travel destinations becomes huge and accommodation places have to be carefully chosen considering the schedules before and after each...

In this paper, we propose a DTN (Delay Tolerant Network) based data delivery method for an environment without communication infrastructures (e.g., disaster area, event place, etc) that takes into account relative importance and deadline of users’ data requests. In this paper, as a target application, we suppose a system that allows users in a sightseeing area to exchange word-of-mouth informat...
