“…The interest in Advanced Traveler Information Services (ATIS) has grown rapidly over the last years, already culminating in a large body of academic literature on this topic (see for some notable contributions Ben-Akiva et al 1991, Polak and Jones 1993, Emmerink et al 1995, Hato et al 1999, Denant-Boèmont and Petiot 2003 or for a review Chorus et al 2006a). Furthermore, a stream of policy initiatives has been built on the deployment of ATIS in transport networks (e.g.…”

This paper investigates the impact of a variety of travel information types on the quality of travel choices. Choice quality is measured by comparing observed choices made under conditions of incomplete knowledge with predicted choice probabilities under complete knowledge. Furthermore, the potential impact of travel information is considered along multiple attribute-dimensions of alternatives, rather than in terms of travel time reductions only. Data is obtained from a choice experiment in a multimodal travel simulator in combination with a web-based mode-choice experiment. A Structural Equation Model is estimated to test a series of hypothesized direct and indirect relations between a traveler's knowledge levels, information acquisition behavior and the resulting travelchoice quality. The estimation results support the hypothesized relations, which provides evidence of validity and applicability of the developed measure of travel-choice quality. Furthermore, found relations in general provide some careful support for the often expected impact of information on the quality of travel choices. The effects are largest for information services that generate previously unknown alternatives, and lowest for services that provide warnings in case of high travel times only.

“…One question that arises is whether provision of information would speed up learning. In theory the answer would appear to be yes, but if information is conveyed in the form of advice it may deter people from learning (Adler, 2001;Chorus et al, 2006). Finally, the model could be made more practically useful by considering heterogeneity in value of time and idiosyncratic preferences with respect to routes.…”

Information about traffic conditions has traditionally been conveyed to drivers by radio and variable message signs, and more recently via the Internet and Advanced Traveler Information Systems. This has spurred research on how travelers respond to information, how much they are willing to pay for it and how much they are likely to benefit from it collectively. In this paper we analyze the decisions of drivers whether to acquire information and which route to take on a simple congested road network. Drivers vary in their degree of risk aversion with respect to travel time. Four information regimes are considered: No information, Free information which is publicly available at no cost, Costly information which is publicly available for a fee, and Private information which is available free to a single individual. Private information is shown to be individually more valuable than either Free or Costly information, while the benefits from Free and Costly information cannot be ranked in general. Free or Costly information can decrease the expected utility of drivers who are very risk-averse, and with sufficient risk aversion in the population the aggregate compensating variation for information can be negative.

“…Much research has been devoted to choice modelling, driver compliance and the influence of information, for reviews see (Prato, 2009, Bonsall, 1992, Chorus et al, 2006, Han et al, 2007. We acknowledge that these are relevant aspects of route guidance.…”

When applying dynamic route guidance to improve the network performance, it is important to balance the interests of the road authorities and the road users. In this paper we will illustrate how bounded rationality and indifference bands can be taken into account in dynamic route guidance to improve the network performance while respecting the interests of road users. The paper elaborates on empirical findings reported in literature to propose a suitable interpretation and utilization of the indifference bands in a control approach. By means of a service level-oriented route guidance control approach we evaluated the potential gain in network performance of different absolute indifference bands. Results from a simulation test case show a reduction in total travel time of 5% compared to user equilibrium, in case of an indifference band of 4 minutes for a trip of approximately 22 minutes. The improvement in network performance increases with an increasing indifferent band, up to 14% in case of an indifference band of 10 minutes.
