Abstract:Drivers desire real-time information when
traveling in order to make route choice
decisions. One type of information that can be
provided is current (dynamic) travel times on
two possible routes that serve a common
destination. In this way, drivers can make a more
informed decision about the best route to use.
I-35 through Austin, Texas, often experiences
periods of significant congestion. SH 130 and
SH 45 are toll facilities that provide alternative
routes around the city. They are typically less
congested but longer and require a toll payment.
It is difficult for motorists to know whether to
remain on I-35 through Austin or to use the toll
facility to have the best travel time to their
destination. The availability of current travel
times on those routes would be extremely
beneficial to motorists.
