Research in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems has shown how artificial intelligence can be used to make personal recommendations on stopping-off places when one is traveling. The approach could optimize the route one takes and so reduce travel times and fuel consumption if traveling by road, for instance, while at the same time offering surprising and interesting places one might visit that reflect one’s individual preferences and practical constraints. The system moves away from conventional travel planning, which typically suggests only the most popular destinations and largely ignores user needs or schedules.
