Abstract

With the inclusion of the Global Positioning System (GPS) on mobile devices, users have a new option to obtain routes and travel information. Most of the routing systems advances are focused on time improvements; actually, the problem with commercial routing services is the way in which they give their route instructions, since they do not include support features that could be useful as landmarks or points of interest. By analyzing these issues, this paper proposes the Referenced Routing Model (RRM), which provides to the users semantic instructions to go from one place to another, by using geospatial analysis tools, semantic processing and mobile technologies. The obtained routes begin at the mobile position and show to the user the points of interest and visual references located on the road in order to aid him during his trip. An ontological model has been designed in order to provide the references related to the routes.
