• Abstract:
  Vehicle tracking systems were installed on all DIRECT (Driver Information Radio using Experimental Communication Technologies) vehicles to help investigate the ; relationships between the drivers’ actual travel experiences and their opinions about the ; systems they used. The purpose of this report is to look more carefully at driver behavior ; as recorded by the tracking system and to see if this provides any further insight on the ; effectiveness of the DIRECT systems. The report first describes the tracking system and ; the traffic messages delivered to the drivers, then it goes on to analyze which drivers ; responded to the messages by diverting as shown by the tracking system. The last section ; addresses how the messages and diversions may have affected the drivers’ reported level of ; satisfaction with the system they used.
