A Novel Urban Tourism Path Planning Approach Based on a Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

One of the most important variables that leads to effective individual and group tours is the tourism route planning approach, which enables tourists to engage with tourism with ease, speed, and safety. However, current methods of designing tourist routes have some glitches, such as relying only on external objectives to find the best route. In this paper, a novel urban tourism path planning method based on a multiobjective genetic algorithm is proposed. The main goal of this paper is to enhance the accuracy of the genetic algorithm (GA) by adopting new parameters and selecting the optimal tourism path by combining external and internal tourist site potentials. Moreover, the GA and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) were used in our proposed approach to evaluate urban tourism route planning under multiple conflicting objectives. To visualize and execute the proposed approach, the geographic information system (GIS) environment was used. Our suggested approach has been applied to develop the tourist road network of Chengdu City in China. Compared with existing tourism path planning approaches, our proposed approach is more accurate and straightforward than other approaches used to choose routes.

Construction Risk Evaluation of Poor Geological Channels Based on Cloud Model-Improved AHP–Matter–Element Theory

“…Among them, the analytic hierarchy process is widely used in various fields due to its simple operation and concise system. For example, it is used for collaborative evaluation in the company's operation management [26]; in software-defined networks, it is used for controller selection [27]; in the design of urban tourism routes, it is used to evaluate tourism resources [28]; it is used to evaluate the importance of active power in research [29]; it is also employed to select the most suitable city when solving spatial problems [30], etc. However, the analytic hierarchy process also has its shortcomings that it cannot solve the comprehensive evaluation problem of multi-person decision-making conflicts.…”

“…Usually, the optimization algorithm is used to solve the problem; the frequently used optimization algorithms include the ant colony algorithm, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, simulated annealing algorithm, etc. [24][25][26][27]. The optimization algorithms are used to plan tour routes in the literature.…”

“…Similarly, route generation algorithms are applied for machining processes and transport in [29]. The proposal by [30] details a method of planning tourist urban routes applying multi-objective genetic algorithms. This work improves the accuracy by combining internal and external tourist hot spots to optimize the route.…”
