A mobile trip guide application development using artificial intelligence searching algorithms

Mobile applications due to the increased use of mobile devices provide services to users in many areas such as tourism. During a trip in an unknown city, one of the most important travel assistants is a mobile guide application. However, when examining applications on mobile platforms, no mobile application exists that is user-friendly, makes up the trip plan, tracks users and offers suggestions to make the trip more efficient. The aim of this project is to develop a trip planner application on the mobile platform to make users' travel experiences more efficient and make contribution to tourism. A research has been done over studies about search algorithms for route calculation that is one of the services of the guide application. Algorithms that are used on similar problems have been implemented for the application and have been compared for shortest route calculation problem over consistency and running time issues. The application that have been developed with the data set which is constructed for the province of Eskişehir is able to be extended for other cities with a proper data set.
