Abstract
We propose an edge-enhanced federated learning framework for real-time itinerary optimization in elderly oriented adventure tourism, addressing the critical need for adaptive scheduling that balances activity intensity with health constraints. The system integrates lightweight convolutional neural networks with a priority-based scheduling algorithm, processing participant profiles and real-time biometric data through a decentralized computation model to enable dynamic adjustments. A modified Hungarian algorithm incorporates physical exertion scores, temporal proximity weights, and health risk factors, then optimizes activity assignments while respecting physiological recovery requirements. The federated learning architecture operates across distributed edge nodes, preserving data privacy through localized model training and periodic global aggregation. Furthermore, the framework interfaces with transportation systems and medical monitoring infrastructure, automatically triggering itinerary modifications when vital sign anomalies exceed adaptive thresholds. Implemented on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin modules, the system achieves 300 ms end-to-end latency for real-time schedule updates, meeting stringent safety requirements for elderly participants. The proposed method demonstrates significant improvements over conventional itinerary planners through its edge computing efficiency and personalized adaptation capabilities, particularly in handling the latency-sensitive demands of intensive tourism scenarios. Experimental results show robust performance across diverse participant profiles and activity types, confirming the system’s practical viability for real-world deployment in elderly adventure tourism operations.
