Abstract

Nowadays, vehicle navigation systems have a limited effectiveness in satisfying user interests and needs. They basically locate the user's GPS position on a map and calculate a path toward a given destination. This paper presents an innovative semantic-based navigation system, acting as intelligent agent offering an advanced assistance during a road trip. It integrates a mobile matchmaker, which allows a knowledge-oriented destination discovery, in order to fully accomplish requirements of a user during her travel. The framework we propose is based on open standards, and particularly it uses crowd-sourced maps available under the OpenStreetMap project, where Points Of Interest (POI) of the basic cartography are semantically featured in order to enable novel services supporting a traveling user.
