Green Navigation Services (Hassan Karimi: Nov 18)

Users of navigation services routinely request shortest or fastest routes
for traveling from one location to another. This is because, at least for
most trips, users prefer to optimize their mobility. As navigation
services aim to address the problem of “getting lost”, especially in
unfamiliar environments, shortest and fastest routes attempt to address
the problem of “not getting there late”. The notion of “getting there
fast” provides a rationale for current navigation services to provide
shortest and fastest routes as default route choices. However, to date,
there is no study aimed at realizing the impacts of taking shortest or
fastest routes by many users in a geographic area over time on the
environment. He presented the concept of Green Navigation
Services and discussed the results of experiments conducted to address the
impacts of shortest and fastest routes commonly provided by current
navigation services on the environment.
