Personalized Route Recommendation with Hybrid Tabu Search Algorithm Based on Crowdsensing.

In the postmodern era of tourism, tourists' behavior has undergone a substantial change and the demand of customized experience dominates the tourism market. The traditional single-objective travel route recommendation method fails to meet the multiobjective needs of users. To handle this problem, a multiobjective hybrid tabu search algorithm for urban travel route recommendations is proposed in this paper. First, the rating and level of attractions, as well as the corresponding information of hotels and restaurants within a certain radius, are considered. Then, based on this information, a crowdsensing scoring method is established. Second, the hybrid particle swarm genetic optimization algorithm is exploited to generate a single-object route, and the fast nondominated Pareto sorting algorithm is exploited to find the optimized solution. Then, the hybrid tabu algorithm is used to optimize the personalized route chosen according to multiple objects set by users. This algorithm combines the global search ability of the genetic algorithm and the neighborhood search ability of the tabu algorithm to prevent convergence from falling into a local optimum. Finally, the experiments are conducted on the real-world data collected from the Dianping and Ctrip web sites. The comparison with baseline algorithms indicates that the algorithm proposed in this paper provides accurate and reasonable route recommendations for users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
