Behavioural and Network Impacts of Driver Information Systems

Abstract

Part 1 Theoretical models on network impacts of driver information: effects of driver information in the bottleneck model modelling dynamic transportation networks with variational inequalities information and rational expectations in modelling driver information systems - a welfare measurement. Part 2 Simulation models and driver information systems: information in a two-route network with recurrent and non-recurrent congestion a stochastic process model of day-to-day traffic assignment and information - illustrations in a two-link network dynamic simulation of a simple route guidance system in the presence of responsive signal control policies. Part 3 Empirical models of behavioural change: driver information and the (de)formation of habitat in route choice route choice in response to variable message signs - factors affecting compliance experimental analysis of effects of travel time information on dynamic route choice behaviour impacts of pre-trip and en-route information on commuters' travel decisions - summary of laboratory and survey-based experiments from California designing ATIS for familiar drivers - preliminary behavioural concepts analysis of drivers' response to information using fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning models behavioural and network impacts of driver information systems - the effect of advanced traveller information (ATIS) on travellers' behaviour. Part 4 Design aspects of driver information systems: the close connection between dynamic traffic management and driver information systems the roles of driver information and congestion pricing systems probe-based surveillance for travel time information in ITS.
