| Abstract | Many people around the globe live in areas that have unhealthy levels of air pollution. Such pollution raises the risks of health problems such as lung cancer and heart disease. A significant contributor to air pollution is the combustion of fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel to transport people and goods. Using shared and active transportation such as cycling and walking can have great benefits in mobility, clean air, citizen health, and transportation efficiency. Driven by the idea of improving air quality, mobility, and the quality of resident lives, we contribute Smart Resident, a transportation guidance system which uses a recommender system and gamification to motivate city residents to move towards active or shared transportation as an alternative to traditional one-passenger vehicles. The system uses a personalized recommender system based on the history of user trips, and user preferences to give recommendations to users for daily transportation. Moreover, the system motivates users towards green means of transportation by showing them impact on health and finances. |
