This chapter presents a review of selected developments over the past decade in the area of modelling commuter decisions, particularly departure time and route choice, day-to-day dynamics of these decisions to interaction with system performance, and the role of information. The chapter addresses models of departure time and route choice, daily switching decisions, and learning rules. Results of laboratory-like experiments, computer simulations and actual surveys are highlighted. Recent issues arising in connection with IVHS (advanced traveller-information systems) are also discussed. Throughout, issues and challenges facing the travel-behaviour research community are highlighted. (A)
