Driver’s Choice and System Outcomes in Congested Traffic Networks

Our study is investigating the effects of spatial orientation in the representative scenario of congested traffic in the Zurich metropolitan area. Each driver has planned his itinerary with the help of an off-the-shelf navigation device and sticks to his shortest route. The research question is: How much will the traffic situation improve if part of the drivers use real-time navigation information (such as may be available via smartphone)?
