About this title

Synopsis

Sustained increases in traffic congestion levels motivate the need for the efficient utilization of existing transportation infrastructure and resources. Integrated advances in computing, telecommunications, and informatics have enabled the development of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) as a mechanism to alleviate traffic congestion. ATIS can enhance the efficiency of existing network capacity utilization by enabling drivers to make more informed decisions. A critical aspect for the successful deployment of ATIS strategies is the explicit consideration of driver behavior in the determination of the information to provide to drivers. This research seeks to develop behavior-consistent information-based network traffic control strategies by assigning primacy to the intricate interdependencies between driver behavior and the information strategies. Behavior-consistent strategies are defined here as information-based strategies that factor the likely response of drivers in their determination. This book should be especially useful to professionals or researches seeking to develop and deploy real-time traffic information strategies.
