Where To: Crowd-Aided Path Selection

Summary: Introduces crowd-aided path selection using Routing Query (RQ) and Binary Routing Query (BRQ) to operationalize directional choices at intersections. Proposes budget-aware, dynamic question scheduling to reduce selection hardness, with simulations and real crowdsourcing data showing gains over baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
