StreetSmart, a mobile-phone application, allows travelers to receive customized suggestions based on their current location and preferences. Upon downloading the application, travelers will be asked a series of questions to better understand their interests. People with similar responses to the survey will be grouped together as having similar interests, and reviews from people within the same group will have greater weight than reviews from people in different groups. After taking this survey, users will then be prompted to take another survey that questions them on activities in the nearby area to give suggestions on what the user might want to do at that instant. Travel locations will be propagated on StreetSmart via destination-type databases in addition to user-created locations while the reviews will be generated from the user's ratings. StreetSmart connects you with local street vendors, performances, restaurants, and sites you just can’t miss! StreetSmart includes a virtual journal where one can also upload photos and audio recordings of their trip. StreetSmart is a home for travelers; a trustworthy community that ensures all types of people can make the most out of their unique trip.
