• Abstract:
  Smartphone navigation applications (apps) such as Google Maps and Waze provide drivers with options to make informed decisions about their route. It is important to understand how these apps affect drivers’ behavior as governments invest in variable message signs (VMS) and other Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) strategies. In addition, several communities have attributed disruptions to typical traffic patterns and increased local cut-through traffic to the use of navigation apps.
