Abstract :
Variable message signs (VMS) plays an important role in route guidance of drivers and release of traffic congestion. Response to VMS of drivers is acquired in stated preference (SP) investigation. Traffic demand is estimated and analyzed by Gravity and route choice models. Effects of VMS on route choice and traffic delay are simulated through VISSIM software in the case study of Beijing.
