Abstract

Cyber-physical-human systems find new applications in various areas of human lives. The paper proposes usage of a system of this class to achieve a synergy between the connected car and e-tourism ideas. The developed approach is presented with more attention paid to the situational awareness and behavioral awareness. The approach is illustrated via a case study aimed to organization of infomobile support of tourists taking a ride in a car with a driver. The connected car technologies are used to integrate car information system with tourist's personal information device to deliver speech, image and video-based tour guiding synchronized with the ride.
