ITLS - WP - 05 - 20 Route choice behavior of freeway travelers under real - time traffic information provision – application of the best route and the habitual route choice

The route choice behaviour on freeways between Taipei and Taichung in Taiwan under real-time traffic information provision is investigated. Two types of route choice mechanisms (the best-route and habitual-route) are analysed using ordered probit models to identify the major influences on freeway travellers’ route choice behaviour. The level of service associated with each route is defined as a...

Analyzing how travelers choose scenic routes using route choice models

Finding a scenic route between two locations is a common trip planning task, in particular for tourists and recreational travelers. For the automated computation of a scenic route in a trip planning system it is necessary to identify which attributes of a route and its surroundings are associated with attractive scenery. This study uses a route choice model, more specifically a Path Size Logit ...

Route choice decision under uncertainty

We study route choice behavior when travel time is uncertain. In this case, users do not minimize expected travel time but also take into account travel time variability. We collected survey data and analyze them with a method based on the ordered probit model. This allows us to have an ordinal as well as cardinal measures of risk aversion. Such an approach is therefore consistent with expected...
