General information
- Short Summary
- We aim to make the management of tourist destinations smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable while ensuring the highest level of privacy and security for visitors' data.
- Full Description
-
Our developed system will not only generate predictions and recommendations but also provide a transparent mechanism to explain how these decisions are made. While AI models often struggle to clarify their decision-making processes, this project will implement an Explainable AI (XAI) mechanism that operates securely and verifiably on the blockchain.
•Pricing decisions and demand forecasts will be logged on a blockchain for verifiability.
•Each price recommendation will be traceable, showing the data sources and algorithms that influenced the decision.
•Hotel recommendation with explainable AI
•The immutable nature of blockchain will prevent manipulation or misrepresentation of AI-generated insights.
•Explainable AI in marketing domain
Visitor Flow and Crowd Management
AI analyzes hotel and transportation data to create optimized travel routes. Anonymized data from cameras, sensors, and mobile tracking is used to manage crowd density and forecast congestion. XAI methods (e.g., SHAP, LIME) provide transparency in predictions, while LLMs generate natural language insights and personalized recommendations.
Traffic Optimization
Real-time data from public transport, parking systems, and traffic cameras is used for traffic forecasting and route optimization with AI models (LSTM, ARIMA, graph-based algorithms). XAI explains traffic predictions, and LLMs offer alternative travel suggestions and summarize mobility reports.
Resource Management
AI optimizes staff allocation, facility maintenance schedules, and waste collection routes using sensor data and optimization algorithms. XAI explains operational decisions and efficiency, increasing trust in the system’s outputs.
Visitor Experience Enhancement
Personalized services are delivered through AI-powered recommendation systems and interactive LLM-based chatbots. Security is enhanced with object recognition and anomaly detection, supported by XAI to explain potential risks and safety alerts.
Sustainability and Urban Tourism Management
Smart energy and waste management systems use predictive AI to improve sustainability. AI also helps optimize tourism-based city tax revenues and evaluates environmental impacts. XAI ensures transparency, and LLMs generate clear summaries for policy-makers. - Advantages and Innovations
- Sustainability is a topic that has had a significant impact on the world and the EU in recent years. It has become a necessity in terms of climate and environmental impacts. In addition, considering the high level of tourism activities in EU countries, it is necessary to manage elements such as optimizing crowd density and noise in tourist areas well. This is a topic that EU tourism needs to work on very seriously. The regulation and direction of order, security, flow, and behavior here are of serious priority for the EU.
- Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
- We are looking for Spanish partners who have experience with XAI and tourism or expertise in IT within tourism, who can serve as a testbed for the technologies and projects we have mentioned (for instance, activation centers where we can monitor crowd density), and who have expertise in the field of image processing.
- Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
