Where To: Crowd-Aided Path Selection
Summary: Introduces Routing Queries and Binary Routing Queries that decompose crowd-based path comparison into intersection-level direction choices. Budget-aware algorithms dynamically select questions to reduce route-selection difficulty, validated on real crowdsourcing data. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
