Abstract
A driver information system implemented in Japan provides drivers with dynamic traffic information such as travel time and congested car-length on a variable-message board. This paper gives the results of a driving survey on the Metropolitan Expressway and alternative surface roads, to analyze driver responses when receiving dynamic traffic information. Based on these results, the authors examined the efficiency of the driver information system
