Commuters route choice behaviour

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 ...

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...

Pii: S0968-090x(02)00025-6

This paper presents an agent-based approach to modelling individual driver behaviour under the influence of real-time traffic information. The driver behaviour models developed in this study are based on a behavioural survey of drivers which was conducted on a congested commuting corridor in Brisbane, Australia. Commuters responses to travel information were analysed and a number of discrete ch...

Bicyclists’ preferences for route characteristics and crowding in Copenhagen – A choice experiment study of commuters

An Incentive Mechanism for Decongesting the Roads: A Pilot Program in Bangalore

We describe an experiment conducted in Bangalore, India, for incentivizing a population of commuters to travel at less congested times. The goals were to reduce the travel times and increase the travel comfort of commuters, and to reduce congestion, fuel consumption and pollution. The project, called INSTANT (for the Infosys-Stanford Traffic project), ran for six months from Oct 6, 2008, to Apr...
