Abstract

Abstract. We present the objectives and first results of the Peacox project. Peacox aims at providing travelers with personalized multi-modal navigation tools that allow, help and persuade them to travel and drive ecological friendlier. To support the users in making travel decisions without feeling restricted, Peacox considers their situational and individual range of acceptable travel choices and provides personalized and tailored navigation support. 1 Project Overview, Motivation and Objectives PEACOX- Persuasive Advisor for CO2-reducing cross-modal trip planning- is an international research project aiming to provide travelers with personalized multimodal navigation tools that allow, help and persuade them to travel and drive ecological friendlier.

As ecological issues in environments become more and more pressing, means to reduce the ecological impact of people are needed urgently. A substantial part of emissions is related to traffic and mobility, and as work and leisure life becomes more and more geographically distributed
