“…Another Japanese venture is AMTICS (Advanced Mobile Traffic Information and Communication System), an integrated traffic information and navigation system that combines CD-ROM technology with AVI (Tsuzawa and Okamoto 1988). Some Japanese cars on the market come with rudimentary autonomous route guidance systems.…”

Two contrasting theories-actor-network theory and nondecision making-are separately applied to the same case study, namely, technologies for automatically identifying road vehicles. By this process, the strengths and weaknesses of each approach are highlighted: The actor-network approach is useful for understanding local processes but lacks tools for easily illuminating patterns across countries; by contrast, the concept of nondecision making is useful for explaining the general lack of implementation of technology for automatic vehicle identification but not for explaining variations between developments in different countries. This study highlights the importance of attempting to compare theories by using the same case study.Traditional approaches to technology have distinguished between artifacts (the physical side of technology) and humans and their interactions (the social side of technology). Within this broad framework, many views of the nature and dynamics of technology have been explored: technology as neutral and the related use-abuse model (implicit in many works), technological determinism (Misa 1988;Winner 1977), technology as shaped by society (MacKenzie and Wajcman 1985), technology as determined by society (Dickson 1974), and technology as part of a labor process (Braverman 1974). (Of course, these approaches are not necessarily mutually exclusive or comprehensive.) These and other perspectives have been developed and applied in various ways. The important point here is that they treat society as something to be investigated separate from, or in addition to, artifacts.This assumption has been challenged in the 1980s by what has been called the new sociology of technology. two anonymous referees for useful comments on earlier drafts. We have benefited from discussions with Stewart Russell on power, interests, and nondecision making.

“…Since we have no reliable understanding about how drivers plan on the basis of such information the planning layer reference model is likely to be more complex. It is to be hoped that experiments now underway [17,18,19,20] will improve our understanding.…”

“…This paper is concerned, however, with a type of control with which there has been virtually no experience (with Berlin currently having the only fully operational system -see Von Tomkewitsch, 1987), but which has caught the imagination of those involved in a number of major projects throughout the world -notably, the EC's DRIVE initiative (Stergiou & Stathopoulos, 1989;Keen et al, 1991); in the USA, the NHS steering committee (IVHS America, 1991), as well as, for example, the Minnesota Guidestar programme (Ofstead, 1991), Orlando's Travtek project (Rillings, 1991) and the Chicago dynamic route guidance system (Boyce et al, 1991a); and studies with a number of systems in Japan (summarised by Yumoto, 1991) such as the Comprehensive Automobile Control System (Kobayashi, 1979) and the Advanced Mobile Traffic Information and Communication System (Tsuzawa & Okamoto, 1989).…”

In attempting to simulate the operation of a dynamic route guidance system, the modelling task is concerned both with the operation of the control system and with the implications this has for modelling driver hehaviour (whether or not the driver is receiving information from the controller) and network conditions. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the modelling issues which need to be considered when addressing such a problem, and which have been identified by various authors in reports on experimentallsurvey work and in discussion papers.In discussing the great number of challenges to the modelling world which have arisen from the interest in such systems, we seek to stimulate further discussion and to provide a framework within which any route guidance model may be critically evaluated. We consider such a framework to be particularly timely in the light of the wealth of simulation models currently being proposedand widely varying conclusions being drawn -as a result of many major research initiatives currently underway throughout the developed world.It is our belief that the development of a model which adequately represents the performance of a dynamic route guidance system is of the utmost importance to the success of such an approach.It will not only provide a means for evaluating the potential benefits, but should also provide an essential insight into the most appropriate means for its implementation and improve our understanding of transportation networks.
