Analysis of morning commute route choice patterns using global positioning system-based vehicle activity data Li, Hainan ; Guensler, Randall ; Ogle, Jennifer

By: Contributor(s): Series: ; 1926Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2005Description: s. 162-70Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1926Location: Abstract: This paper examines morning commute route choices of 182 drivers, with the use of disaggregated Global Positioning System-based vehicle activity data collected during a 10-day period. This paper attempts to describe how these commuters tend to behave in the real world. A binary logit model of morning commuters' choice between a single commute route and multiple routes was established on the basis of evidence of drivers' varying valuations of a number of route and trip characteristics as well as commuters' sociodemographic characteristics. The research results of this paper indicate a strong relationship between the morning commute route choice decision (single versus multiple routes) and commuters' work schedule flexibility, sociodemographic characteristics, and commute route attributes.
