tripzoom: An App to Improve your Mobility Behavior
In Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM 2013), Ulm, Germany, December 04 - 06, 2012

Mobile devices can help to solve urban traffic problems by improving personal mobility and making transport, traveling, and commuting for individual users more flexible, sustainable, and rewarding. For that purpose, the tripzoom application combines mobility data and patterns from mobile sensing, a dynamic incentive system, and community feedback from social networks. This paper gives an overview of tripzoom, its features, and technical realization, and explains how users can take advantage of it to monitor, manage, and improve their mobility behavior.
