Description
Summary:With the development of economic and people’s living standards, more and more people join the ranks of backpackers, which have brought a lot of pressures to the society. It’s the emergence of an enhanced hybrid location-based services (LBS) to solve this problem. LBS are classified into three categories, i.e. Reactive LBS, Proactive LBS, and Hybrid LBS (H-LBS). The prototype of H-LBS for supporting backpackers in Beijing was discussed. There are several services to support backpackers by H-LBS, for example travel insurance services, tourism planning services, in which kernel density estimation was used to calculate the hotspots, and travel process support services.
