Abstract

Driver route choice behaviour is subject to their interpretation of the guidance and/or information and subsequent action upon receiving it, which may change under different travel circumstances. This paper reports on thefindings from a recently conducted experiment investigating drivers' response to route guidance and information when in familiar and unfamiliar road networks using travel simulation technique as a tool for in-vehicle route guidance and information research The results indicate that the guidanceand information acceptance need not only depend on the optimum route choice criteria, it is also affected by network familiarity, quality and credibility of guidance/information and personal attributes of the drivers.
