Abstract
This article deals with an analysis and comparison of individual routes, surveyed and modelled, of car trips in an urban road network. The objective is to assess the predictive quality of the so-called shortest time route choice model for car drivers. Trip and network data are used from the city of Eindhoven; they consist of a sample of 232 cases. The observed routes refer to the evening peak routes of work-to-home trips of employees of several firms, the locations of which are evenly distributed over the city region. The model routes are shortest time paths between work and home place.
