Abstract:

Advanced Traveler Information Systems offer the promise of better informed travel decisions and more efficient use of transportation infrastructure. However, no firm consensus has emerged as to how travelers decide to access information, or how they actually incorporate this information into their travel choices. This paper is designed to complement existing research in this area with results from a large-scale survey of travelers in the Seattle area. The paper focuses on how characteristics of the traveler and of the trip itself influence these choices.
