Route Choice in Road Networks - Observing and Modelling Route Choice
نویسنده
چکیده
Until now transport planners and modellers have little information on the actual route choice in road networks as route choice is difficult to observe. The paper presents various techniques for observing route choice (floating car data, mobile phone data, automatic number plate recognition systems, bluetooth detection) and shows results of route choice observations. Based on the analysis of the observed route choice and based on the characteristics of travel assignment models it describes shortcomings and formulates requirements for modelling route choice in a traffic assignment model.

On Calibration and Application of Logit-Based Stochastic Traffic Assignment Models
There is a growing recognition that discrete choice models are capable of providing a more realistic picture of route choice behavior. In particular, influential factors other than travel time that are found to affect the choice of route trigger the application of random utility models in the route choice literature. This paper focuses on path-based, logit-type stochastic route choice models, i...
متن کاملA Maximum Entropy Fixed-Point Route Choice Model for Route Correlation
In this paper we present a stochastic route choice model for transit networks that explicitly addresses route correlation due to overlapping alternatives. The model is based on a multi-objective mathematical programming problem, the optimality conditions of which generate an extension to the Multinomial Logit models. The proposed model considers a fixed point problem for treating correlations b...
متن کاملA Rank-Dependent Expected Utility Model for Strategic Route Choice with Stated Preference Data
Route choice behavior under real-time traffic information needs to be adequately modeled for the proper analysis of a transportation system in the presence of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). This paper focuses on strategic route choice, where a traveler is able to plan ahead for traffic information that s/he will receive in the future. A stated preference (SP) survey was conducted...
متن کاملModelling Driver Interdependent Behaviour in Agent-Based Traffic Simulations for Disaster Management
Accurate modelling of driver behaviour in evacuations is vitally important in creating realistic training environments for disaster management. However, few current models have satisfactorily incorporated the variety of factors that affect driver behaviour. In particular, the interdependence of driver behaviours is often seen in real-world evacuations, but is not represented in current state-of...
متن کاملThe Statistics of Dynamic Networks
This thesis describes describes a small number of problems arising from the applied study of networks in various contexts. The work can be split into two main areas: telecommunications networks (particularly the Internet) and road networks. In the area of telecom networks, this research focuses on current mathematical developments concerning long-range dependence (LRD). LRD is a statistical phe...
