Investigating Travel Choice Behaviour: a New Approach Using Interactive Experiments with Driving Simulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transport models adopt simplified descriptions of travel behaviour and are used to make forecasts when evaluating transport policy measures (e.g. road pricing, traffic management, and traffic information). This research investigates travel choice behaviour on roads and aims to (i) improve our fundamental understanding of decision processes between interacting agents (drivers), with a final goal to (ii) make better forecasts for improved decision-making regarding transport policies. Specifically, the aim is to develop a novel methodology for describing travel choices in multi-agent systems using concepts from discrete choice theory, experimental economics and game theory.

متن کاملTransfer of Training in an Advanced Driving Simulator: Comparison between Real World Environment and Simulation in a Manoeuvring Driving Task
Driving instructors and novice drivers often remain sceptical about the realistic learning potential driving simulators offer to real world driving tasks. The aim of this experiment was to compare the effectiveness of training in the real system with an advanced driving simulator. The participants were required to learn a specific driving manoeuvre: reverse park a truck with an attached trailer...
متن کاملA real-time recursive dynamic model for vehicle driving simulators
This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...
متن کاملVision and driving
Driving is the primary means of personal travel in many countries and relies heavily on vision for its successful execution. Research over the past few decades has addressed the role of vision in driver safety (motor vehicle collision involvement) and in driver performance (both on-road and using interactive simulators in the laboratory). Here we critically review what is currently known about ...
متن کاملApplication of Discrete 3-level Nested Logit Model in Travel Demand Forecasting as an Alternative to Traditional 4-Step Model
This paper aims to introduce a new modelling approach that represents departure time, destination and travel mode choice under a unified framework. Through it, it is possible to overcome shortages of the traditional 4-step model associated with the lack of introducing actual travellers’ behaviours. This objective can be achieved through adopting discrete 3-level Nested Logit model that represen...
