This paper discusses choice set generation and route choice model estimation for large-scale urban networks. Evaluating the effectiveness of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) requires accurate models of how drivers choose routes based on their awareness of the roadway network and their perceptions of travel time. Many of the route choice models presented in the literature pay little ...

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 ...

Automatic route choice in telecommunication networks using external management systems, also known as transport networks, is an unsatisfactorily solved problem. The task can be reduced to weighting and choosing routes in a directed graph starting with weighting edges and vertices using sets of very different parameters, parameters depending on technical and economic conditions. An essential pro...

The route choice behaviour on freeways between Taipei and Taichung in Taiwan under real-time traffic information provision is investigated. Two types of route choice mechanisms (the best-route and habitual-route) are analysed using ordered probit models to identify the major influences on freeway travellers’ route choice behaviour. The level of service associated with each route is defined as a...

Dynamic traffic assignment models have been attracting increasing attention with the progress of traffic management policies based on information technology. These dynamic estimation tools, however, just apply static route choice models either at only origin node or at every arrival node. This paper aims at providing some knowledge on drivers’ dynamic route choice behavior using probe-vehicle d...

Urban mobility is a major challenge in modern societies. Increasing the infrastructure’s physical capacity has proven to be unsustainable from a socio-economical perspective. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) emerge in this context, aiming to make a more efficient use of existing road networks by means of new technologies. In this paper we address the route choice problem, in which drive...
