Abstract :
Studying drivers´ route choice behavior under the influence of travel information is important because it provides insight to improve the effect of travel information on traffic environment. This paper mainly aims to study the impact of travel information on travelers´ route choice behavior at different departure time. Multinomial logit model (MNL) is used to model travelers´ route choice behavior under travel information at different departure time. By comparative study on drivers´ route choice under travel information at different departure time, it is found that (1) the content of travel information significantly affect travelers´ route choice, (2) travelers´ departure time significantly influences travelers´ route choice response to travel information, (3) travelers´ socio-demographics have considerable correlation with travelers´ route choice behavior.
