Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of providing traffic information, which is one of the possible strategies for traffic management, this study attempts to analyze the relation between information and route choice behavior. The aims of this study are to investigate the effects both of introducing an advanced traffic information system and of quality of information provided on the route choice mechanism. The authors propose an experimental analysis approach in which participants with travel time information are repeatedly asked for their hypothetical route choices. It is found that participants tend to choose routes based mainly on provided information and that duality of information might affect their route choice mechanisms
