Abstract

Aspects generate customized routes that select between human-powered and motorized transport option segments to maximize well-being objective in navigating a traveler to a destination. Amounts of human-powered transport options that a traveler is willing, able or recommended to perform via the traveler's own physical exertions in reaching a destination are determined as a function of well-being or cost objectives and performance limits. Recommended routes to the destination having human-powered and/or motorized transport option segments are generated that meet well-being objectives without exceeding amounts that the traveler is currently able to perform, and excluding segments that require efforts that do not meet the well-being objective or exceed the amounts that the traveler is currently able to perform.
