A real-time personalized route recommendation system for self-drive tourists based on vehicle to vehicle communication

Highlights：

• Provide personalized route recommendation services for self-drive tourists based on historical and real-time traffic information.

• Propose a prototype of route recommendation system based on information collected by vehicle to vehicle communication systems (V2VCS).

• Employ genetic algorithm (GA) to explore an optimal route based on traffic information and personal requirements.

• The proposed system not only reduces total visiting time but also meets the specific requirements of self-drive tourists.
