An experimental analysis of day-to-day route choice dynamics in a simple three-route network is presented in this study. A laboratory-like experiment involving thirty subjects was conducted over a 50-period time span. Participants received only feedback information on chosen routes. The study indicates that the day-to-day route choice process is characterized by a high degree of volatility, and that User Equilibrium, even though reached occasionally, does not persist as a steady state of the network. Individual route-switching behavior was found to be significantly correlated to average experienced travel time, but not affected by personal characteristics of participants.

Abstract
An experimental analysis of day-to-day route choice dynamics in a simple three-route network is presented in this study. A laboratory-like experiment involving thirty subjects was conducted over a 50-period time span. Participants received only feedback information on chosen routes. The study indicates that the day-to-day route choice process is characterized by a high degree of volatility, and that User Equilibrium, even though reached occasionally, does not persist as a steady state of the network. Individual route-switching behavior was found to be significantly correlated to average experienced travel time, but not affected by personal characteristics of participants.Pubblicazioni consigliate
