The assessment of route guidance systems necessarily involves the use of models to test the impact of a range of such systems in a variety of networks. The ability of the models to represent system performance is crucially dependent on their ability realistically to represent driver compliance. Building on the results of detailed survey work, we have developed a number of approaches to this task. The paper will describe some of these methods, presenting results where appropriate. Conclusions will be drawn on the extent to which the new insights can be applied to general models of route choice. (A)
