Preliminary Analysis on Dynamic Route Choice Behavior Using Probe-Vehicle Data

Preliminary Analysis on Dynamic Route Choice Behavior Using Probe-Vehicle Data

Dynamic traffic assignment models have been attracting increasing attention with the progress of traffic management policies based on information technology. These dynamic estimation tools, however, just apply static route choice models either at only origin node or at every arrival node. This paper aims at providing some knowledge on drivers’ dynamic route choice behavior using probe-vehicle d...

An Analysis of Morning Commute Route Choice Patterns Using GPS Based Vehicle Activity Data

This paper examines the morning commute route choice behavior of 182 drivers, using disaggregated GPS-based activity data collected during a ten-day period. This paper attempts to describe how these commuters tend to behave in the real world. A binary logit model of morning commuters’ choice between using a single commute route and multiple routes was established, based upon the evidence of dri...

Using a Telepresence System to Investigate Route Choice Behavior

A combination of a telepresence system and a microscopic traffic simulator is introduced. It is evaluated using a hotel evacuation scenario. Four different kinds of supporting information are compared, standard exit signs, floor plans with indicated exit routes, guiding lines on the floor and simulated agents leading the way. The results indicate that guiding lines are the most efficient way to...

Investigating Morning Commute Route Choice Behavior Using Global Positioning Systems and Multi-day Travel Data

Uncovering the contribution of travel time reliability to dynamic route choice using real-time loop data

Travel time reliability has generally been surmised to be an important attribute of transportation systems. In this paper, we study the contribution of travel time reliability in travelers’ route choice decisions. Traveler’s route choice is formulated as a mixed-logit model, with the coefficients in the model representing individual traveler’s preferences or tastes towards travel time, reliabil...
