Abstract

A wayfinding service for empowering physical activity is presented. The service finds routes that involve multi-modal transportation where walking is always one mode. The service is based on the new concept of multi-modal transportation with multi-criteria walking. A prototype of the service is developed and a new empowerment approach for it is discussed.

Keywords: Physical activity Wayfinding service Walking paths
