Abstract |
A new simulator for laboratory studies of the dynamics of commuter behavior under real-time traffic information (advanced traveler information systems) strategies is described, and a set of laboratory experiments that used this simulator is discussed. The purpose of the experiments was to examine the bahavioral processes underlying commuter decisions on route diversions en route and day-to-day departure time and route choices as influenced by the provision of real-time traffic information. Both the real-time and day-to-day dynamic properties of traffic networks under alternative information strategies--particularly issues of convergence to an equilibrium, stability, and benefits following shifts in commuter trip timing decisions--will also be investigated in the experiments.
