ABSTRACT
Nowadays tourism transportation has become a hot topic of research, and the rapid
development of Internet technology has overloaded information, which has made it
impossible to provide services with different preferences for different users. Therefore,
personalized tourism transportation has become the current mainstream trend. According to
the different preferences of travellers for money and travel time, based on the analysis of
mainstream tourism services, and combined with multi-source traffic data, this paper
proposes a mathematical model for personalized travel planning. This paper proposes a two-
stage spatiotemporal network solution algorithm. In the first stage, based on the set of travel
attractions given by the traveller, the shortest path algorithm is used to plan an approximate
optimal path that meets the traveller's preferences and to implement connection of multiple
travel modes. The second stage is combined with the spatiotemporal network to achieve
daily travel planning between multiple attractions.
