Abstract: The paper proposes an approach, reference model, and case study for a cyber-physical infomobility for tourism application. The logistics system of the hub is considered as a cyber-physical system. The main idea behind the virtual tourist hub concept is to arrange a tourist trip based on the available schedules, capabilities and environment-friendliness of transportation and attraction providers, current and foreseen availability and occupancy of the available transportation means and attraction services. The approach assumes usage of a context-based group recommending system for generating recommendations for the tourists. A case study describes service-oriented architecture, implementation, and evaluation of mobile tourist guide application that is based on the presented in the paper approach and reference model.
