Abstract :
Aim:Real-time traveler information affects auto commuter’s travel behavior.
Method:An ordered probit model is used to analyze auto commuter’s mode switching propensity under influence of simulated real-timemultimodal traveler information. A travel preference survey is administered to car drivers to gather individual commuter’s traveldecisions under integrated multimodal traveler information.
Result:It is shown that integrated multimodal traveler information can influence willingness of car drivers to switch mode of travel, whilesocio-economic characteristics also influence the mode choice decision
