Study on Driver´s Parking Location Choice Behavior Considering Drivers´ Information Acquisition

This paper focused on the drivers´ parking choice behavior when choosing an on-street or off-street parking place. Drivers´ information acquisition was considered by establishing disaggregate model respectively. Then, unknown parameters of the two models were calibrated with two groups of survey data. The first group of data was collected from drivers with complete parking information, while the second group of data was collected from drivers with incomplete parking information. Finally, the results of the two sorts of drivers´ choice behavior were analyzed. The results showed that compared with completely-informed drivers (drivers with much information or familiar drivers), incompletely-informed drivers (drivers with little information or unfamiliar drivers) prefer to pay less attention on walking time and safety but more on parking fee and some other factors.
