Abstract
 PARAMOUNT: An LBS Prototype for Hikers Track: Location Services Author(s): Florian Sayda, Elmar Wittmann, Admire Kandawasvika, Fei Wang In the EC funded project PARAMOUNT, a Location Based Service (LBS) protoytpe for hikers has been developed and validated in test areas in the Alps and Pyrenees. Within PARAMOUNT (www.paramount-tours.com) the three service packages are available, utilizing Satellite Navigation (GNSS) and Telecommunication (GNRS) with GIS technologies. INFOTOUR provides different kinds of information and functionalities, such as topographic maps, routing functions, tourist information on points of interest, local weather forecast and so on. SAFETOUR aims at increasing the safety of its users. Therefore, it has been designed to receive emergency calls from the users and assist the search and rescue (SAR) organizations during their missions. DATATOUR allows users to contribute to the update of the GIS database (e.g., by capturing new POIS or trails). This paper will present results of the PARAMOUNT project like the users' requirements, system architecture, and results of tests.
