Abstract
Social routing can be provided by a social router system that coordinates a group of travelers from disparate locations to reach a destination at a specified time, by dynamically recommending a traveling route to each of the travelers that comports with that traveler's traveling criteria. To recommend the route, the social router generates an initial routes for each of the travelers and revises the initial routes to join two or more travelers into one route en route to the destination based on the traveling criteria of the two or more travelers. The recommended traveling route is dynamic since the social router system allows for continuous revision of the traveling route based on changes of a traveling criteria, travel progress, conditions along the route, and other factors.
