Summary:
The notion of travel groupoids was introduced by L. Nebeský in 2006 in connection with a study on geodetic graphs. A travel groupoid is a pair of a set $V$ and a binary operation $*$ on $V$ satisfying two axioms. We can associate a graph with a travel groupoid. We say that a graph $G$ has a travel groupoid if the graph associated with the travel groupoid is equal to $G$. Nebeský gave a characterization of finite graphs having a travel groupoid. In this paper, we study travel groupoids on infinite graphs. We answer a question posed by Nebeský, and we also give a characterization of infinite graphs having a travel groupoid.
