This paper proposes a theoretical methodology and practical data collection approach for modeling enroute driver behavioral choice under Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The theoretical framework is based on conflict assessment and resolution theories popularized in psychology and...

The focus of this paper is on the demonstration that some rather well-known network-based formulations in operations research, that have heretofore largely gone unnoticed in activity-based travel research, offer a potentially powerful technique for advancing the general development of the...

This paper discusses preliminary results from an in-laboratory experiment to study enroute driver behavior under ATIS. The case study was conducted using FASTCARS (Freeway and Arterial Street Traffic Conflict Arousal and Resolution Simulator), an interactive microcomputer-based travel choice...

It has been contended that in-laboratory experimentation with interactive microcomputer simulation can substitute for the lack of real-world applications and provide a useful approach to data collection and driver behavior analysis. With the rapid development but limited real-world deployment of...

The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) have defined a set of transportation control measures to counter the increase in the vehicle emissions and energy consumption due to increased travel. The value of these TCM...

This paper discusses the development and implementation of FASTCARS (Freeway and Arterial Street Traffic Conflict Arousal and Resolution Simulator), an interactive microcomputer-based animated simulator designed for in-laboratory experimentation and data collection to assist in the estimation...

The household activity pattern problem of analyzing/predicting the optimal path of household members through time and space as they complete a prescribed agenda of out-of home activities is posed as a variant of the pickup and delivery problem with time windows. The most general case of the...

Freight transportation plays a vital role in the economy of the nation and of the state of California in particular. The value of total freight shipments originating in California in 1997 is estimated at $638.5 billion, 10.6 percent of all US shipments by value.1 This represents 706.5 million...

A trip generation model has been developed using a time-use perspective, in which trips are generated in conjunction with out-of-home activities, and time aspect traveling is another component of overall time use. The model jointly forecasts three sets of endogenous variables – (1)...

The vehicle miles of travel for each vehicle in multi-vehicle households is modeled as a function of household characteristics, vehicle characteristics, and the matches of vehicle to driver in the satisfaction of travel desires. A structural equations model is developed in which principal driver...
