• Abstract:
  The consideration of user responses is important in planning reconstruction activities and in developing control strategies. Extensive surveys of actual commuter behavior in the North Central Expressway corridor in Dallas, Texas, were conducted to characterize the day-to-day dynamics of commuter decisions and to calibrate the user decision models incorporated in a methodology to analyze the dynamics of traffic commuting systems. Three aspects of commuter behavior are investigated in depth: trip chaining, trip timing, and path selection. The resulting data provide unique information that is of value to a wide array of travel demand measures and traffic operations, including intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS).
