Incorporating an information acquisition process into a route choice model with multiple information sources
TLDR
In this paper, a route choice model is proposed that takes into account the information acquisition and reference process, and the empirical relationship between drivers' reaction to multiple information sources, causal factors latent psychological ones, traffic conditions at the time of traveling and the accuracy of traffic information available.Abstract:
This study aims at analyzing drivers' behavior in acquiring and using traffic information in an environment with multiple information sources. Accordingly, information acquisition and reference models are developed in an effort to show the empirical relationship between drivers' reaction to multiple information sources, causal factors latent psychological ones, traffic conditions at the time of traveling and the accuracy of traffic information available. A route choice model is proposed that takes into account the information acquisition and reference process. Model validity is investigated using data collected on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway, which has four different types of information sources.read more

Use and Effects of Advanced Traveller Information Services (ATIS): A Review of the Literature
TL;DR: In this article, a review of contemporary conceptual ideas and empirical findings on the use of travel information (services) and their effects on travellers' choices is presented, integrating behavioural determinants such as the role of decision strategies with manifest determinants, such as trip contexts and socio-economic variables into a coherent framework of information acquisition and its effect on travelers' perceptions.

The impact of travel information's accuracy on route-choice
TL;DR: In this paper, a route-choice experiment with 36 participants, involving 20 repetitions under three different levels of information accuracy, was conducted to investigate the impact of travel time uncertainty.

Travel information as an instrument to change car- drivers' travel choices: a literature review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of more than 15 years of literature concerning the use and effects of travel information among car-drivers is presented, and a number of generic, integrative insights are derived, including the following: it appears that our expectations with respect to the effects of information provision on travel choices in general may be mildly optimistic, particularly for behavioural changes not involving changes in mode-choice.

Route switching behavior on freeways with the provision of different types of real-time traffic information
TL;DR: The best route switching rule, travelers' current routes as compared to the best route, is investigated to further provide valuable insights into freeways travelers' route switching behavior with the provision of different types of real-time traffic information.

Mind the map! The impact of transit maps on path choice in public transit
TL;DR: Results suggest that passengers often trust the tube map more than their own travel experience on deciding the " °best" travel path, even for the most experienced passengers to the system.

Dynamic network models and driver information systems
TL;DR: The paper presents the structure of a dynamic model in which newly acquired information may affect pretrip and en-route travel decisions, and the potential magnitudes of the effects that were identified were identified.

System performance and user response under real-time information in a congested traffic corridor
TL;DR: A modelling framework that consists of a special-purpose simulation component and a user decisions component that determines users' responses to the supplied information is developed to analyze the effect of in-vehicle real time information strategies on the performance of a congested traffic communing corridor.

Does providing information to drivers reduce traffic congestion
TL;DR: The presumption that route guidance and information systems necessarily reduce traffic congestion is questioned, and the need to consider the general equilibrium effects of information is pointed out.

The stability of stochastic equilibrium in a two-link transportation network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the stability of stochastic equilibrium in a two-link network and showed that even when equilibrium is unique, link volumes may converge to their equilibrium values, oscillate about equilibrium perpetually, or converge to values that may be considerably different from the equilibrium ones, depending on the details of the route choice decision-making process.
