A double dynamic models system is presented, simulating the impacts of Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS) on pre-trip users' travel choices such as route and departure time and on network performances. The overall framework consists of three main sub-models. The travel behaviour simulator models the day-to-day choice updating model for different user classes (e.g. informed and non-informed). The within-day dynamic traffic simulator simulates the propagation of flows on the network and estimates network performances allowing for non-stationary conditions within the simulation period and random fluctuation of supply characteristics. Finally, the ATIS model aiming at generating real-time traffic information based on current network conditions. Supply/Demand interactions are simulated within a day-to-day dynamic process framework.
