Towards health-optimal routing in urban areas

Abstract	People are continuously on the move in their daily lives for various purposes ranging from trips to work, to leisure facilities, or trips being recreational by intention. Finding an optimal route for each trip and purpose which corresponds to their preferences is often difficult. People frequently consult route planning services which offer them to choose between the calculation of the fastest or most direct route, and sometimes even the most scenic route. As soon as several transportation modes are involved, the range of routing planners taking into account multiple modes of transportation is either strictly limited or no such service at all is available. In this position paper we outline a proposal for making mobility in urban areas healthier. The healthification of urban mobility will be supported by a health-atlas platform. The core of this platform will be a routing service that incorporates all available and possible modes of transportation, and proposes to its users the healthiest path between an origin and a destination. Determining such route will take into account individual preferences and personal mobility restrictions; it will also be based on the involved level of physical activity and exposure to polluted air along the route which often varies for different modes of transportation. Information about air pollution will not only be obtained from official measuring stations but also by the users themselves, through geo-referenced air quality measurements with their mobile devices. These data will then be made available through the health-atlas in a crowd-sensing manner and thus provides a real-time air pollution snapshot.
