Abstract:

Research about the auto commuter’s pre-trip route choice behavior ignores the combined influence of the real-time information and all respondents’ historical information in the existing documents. To overcome this shortcoming, an approach to describing the pre-trip route choice behavior with the incorporation of the real-time and historical information is proposed. Two types of real-time information are investigated, which are quantitative information and prescriptive information. By using the bounded rationality theory, the influence of historical information on the real-time information reference process is examined first. Estimation results show that the historical information has a significant influence on the quantitative information reference process, but not on the prescriptive information reference process. Then the route choice behavior is modeled. A comparison is also made among three route choice models, one of which does not incorporate the real-time information reference process, while the others do. Estimation results show that the route choice behavior is better described with the consideration of the reference process of both quantitative and prescriptive information.
