Investigation of Traveler Information and Related Travel Behavior in the San Francisco Bay Area
TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined empirical evidence from a major field operational test to answer questions about why, how and who uses travel information, and the perceived benefits and willingness to pay for dynamic information.Citations

Role of Dynamic Information in Supporting Changes in Travel Behavior: Two-Stage Process of Travel Decision
TL;DR: A conceptual framework identifying important factors influencing travelers’ information acquisition behavior and their response to dynamic information is developed and useful implications on how to improve existing and future traveler information systems are generated.

Comparative Analysis of University Students’ Acquisition and Use of Travel Information
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored student responses to travel information, focusing on a subset of the collected data that dealt with acquisition and use of travel information and explored how students at four univer...

Structural Equation Modeling of Traveler Information Needs
Yikui Mo,Yongning Niu,Yanbin Fu +2 more
TL;DR: A structural equation model of traveler information needs is presented, which uses the path analysis and is flexible enough to model and test the process of traffic information use.
Driver Behaviors on Different Presentation Styles of Traffic Information
TL;DR: This study tested the assumption that the probe vehicle could provide reliable and sufficient amount of data that could represent travel time information which then can be transformed into various presentation style and found no evidence that presentation style of traffic information does play a significant role for driver’s behavior.

Influence of Travel Information on Choices of Inter-city Travel Modes: A Case Study of Shanghai-Nanjing Transport Corridor
Lijuan Shi,Xiangyu Li +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the influence of travel information on travel-mode choices with constraints of travelers' socio-economic attributes, travel attributes, and journey stages, and found that travelers with various occupations and travel purposes have varying needs for multimodal travel information.

Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases
Amos Tversky,Daniel Kahneman +1 more
TL;DR: The authors described three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, and adjustment from an anchor, which is usually employed in numerical prediction when a relevant value is available.

Models of Thought
TL;DR: The history of cognitive psychology can be traced back to the early 1970s, when Simon and his colleagues were in the front line of the information-processing revolution as mentioned in this paper, and their contributions have written the history of that revolution in cognitive psychology.

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.
Dissertation
Network knowledge and route choice
TL;DR: Ben-Akiva et al. as discussed by the authors presented evidence that a majority of travelers fail to minimize travel time or distance, and showed that travelers with more network knowledge appear to vary their commute route to respond to changing travel conditions.

Commuters' enroute diversion and return decisions: Analysis and implications for advanced traveler information systems
TL;DR: Discrete choice models of diversion and return behavior show that drivers were more likely to divert if they lived in the city as opposed to the suburbs, were risk seekers, had a higher stated propensity to divert and were male, but anticipated congestion on the alternate route inhibited drivers from diverting.
