Commuters route choice behaviour

Commuters route choice behaviour

The paper reports laboratory experiments with a two route choice scenario. In each session 18 subjects had to choose between a main road M and a side road S. The capacity of M was larger. Feedback was given in treatment I only on the subjects’ own travel time and in treatment II on travel time for M and S. The main results are as follows: • Mean numbers on M and S are near to pure equilibrium. ...

Route Choice Model Based on Game Theory for Commuters

The traffic behaviours of commuters may cause traffic congestion during peak hours. Advanced Traffic Information System can provide dynamic information to travellers. Due to the lack of timeliness and comprehensiveness, the provided information cannot satisfy the travellers’ needs. Since the assumptions of traditional route choice model based on Expected Utility Theory conflict with the actual ...

Value of Travel-Time Reliability: Commuters’ Route-Choice Behavior in the Twin Cities

Executive Summary Travel-time variability is a noteworthy factor in network performance. It measures the temporal uncertainty experienced by users in their movement between any two nodes in a network. The importance of the time variance depends on the penalties incurred by the users. In road networks, travelers consider the existence of this journey uncertainty in their selection of routes. Thi...

Towards Anticipatory Traffic Forecast – Modelling of Route Choice Behaviour

This paper discusses a framework which considers the behaviour of drivers as a mean to achieve an anticipatory traffic forecast. We introduce a two-layer agent-based architecture for the simulation of traffic flow and consider a simple scenario in which agents (drivers) receive dynamic information about traffic conditions. It is shown that in such scenarios, with information being a key commodi...
