Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) To plan a travel route needs various factors.As seen in many route search engines, most people prefer shortest-time or least-cost routes.However, we are not always nessesary to get shortest-time or least-cost routes, and we sometimes want to consider the other factors.This paper focuses on stop-off points as another factor to find routes.The shortest-time routes sometimes have no break time.Therefore, stopover places to eat meals or to join events can become factors to determine a travel route.Also, it needs determination criteria to select suitable stop-off points from some places.Although there are various determination criteria to select suitable stop-off points, this paper focuses on "Crowd" at the points.Due to crowd at stop-off points, a travel plan with stop-off points is sometimes disrupted, or experiences at stop-off points are sometimes dropped.There are some methods to measure the rate of crowd (e.g., physically-sensed by using cameras), while this paper has carried out the evaluation using Twitter, which is a SNS that enables users to send short messages, to estimate the rate of crowd.
