Abstract :
With the advent of intelligent transport systems (ITS), it is urgently necessary to research into some issues related to drivers´ behavior. Here, the roles of ATIS (advanced traveler information system) and DRGS (dynamic route guidance system) in ITS are analyzed firstly. Then a detailed analysis of drivers´ behavior under the influence of information/guidance is presented with control systems, network model and driver behavior considerations. Some basic concepts and detailed model approaches used to assess benefits of ATIS and DRGS are presented. Also, the dynamic driver choice mechanism and the hierarchy of choice faced by drivers are presented, respectively. Finally, the paper explores how the effects of multiple-criteria route guidance will be relevant when these intelligent systems come on-line
