PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF DISAGGREGATE MODELING IN ROUTE DIVERSION

A study of route diversion in the Baltimore-Washignton corridor is presented. A disaggregate model of individual route choice is used. The study investigates diversion from US-1 to I-95 through a license plate sampling technique employed before and after I-95 was opened to traffic. Regression and logic techniques analogous to those in modal-split research were employed to study individual diversion behavior. The research allowed tentative conclusions to be drawn about the use of this kind of study design.
