Modeling the impact of pre-trip information on commuter departure time and route choice

摘要

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of pre-trip information on auto commuters' choice behavior. The analysis is based on an extensive hone-interview survey of commuters in the Taichung metropolitan area in Taiwan. A joint model for rout and departure time decisions with an without pre- trip information is formulated. The model specifications are developed for both the systematic and random components. In particular, econometric issues associated with specifying the random error structure are addressed for parameter estimation purposes.
