Analysis of inertial choice behavior based expected and experienced savings from a real-world route choice experiment

Analysis of inertial choice behaviour based expected and experienced savings from a real-world route choice experiment

In the context of route choice, inertial behaviour shows that drivers make choices that are satisfactory rather than optimal. Consequently, drivers may not necessarily alter their choice when confronted with a travel time increase on the current choice or a travel time decrease of a choice alternative. As a consequence it can be assumed that driver only alter their choice when the utility diffe...

Modeling Driver Behavior in a Road Network with Route Choice Based on Real Time Traffic Information

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications require a thorough understanding of drivers' route choice behavior in a complex network under real-time information. The purpose of this paper is to describe and model driver route choice behavior in a road network based on real time traffic information at the disaggregate individual level and from a psychological decision-making process per...

Pedestrians' Route Choice Model for Shopping Behavior

This paper presents an agent-based model to address the pedestrian route choice problem in shopping malls. Route choice in shopping malls may be defined by a number of causal factors. Shoppers may follow a pre-defined schedule, they may be influenced by other people walking, or may want to get a glimpse of a familiar shopping. The route choice process assumes that the cost of each route can be ...
