THE SIMULATION STUDY OF TRAFFIC INFORMATION STRATEGIES USING THE COMPUTER FOR DATA COLLECTION ON DRIVERS' RESPONSES TO ATIS

In this paper, the process in which drivers make use of information was expressed by combining an information acquisition model with a route choice model. The relationship between drivers' use of traffic information and their route choice behavior was analyzed on the basis of stated preference data gathered through an internet survey. Moreover, the paper proposes a framework of a simulation system for the investigation of ATIS performance under different information strategies on urban network. The efficiency of the simulation system is examined through a case study.
