Title: IN VEHICLE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS: RESEARCH ON DRIVER BEHAVIOR AND TRAFFIC SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Abstract: This paper describes research on driver reaciton to in-vehicle navigation systems and analysis of the consequences of driver behavior on network traffic flow. The research involved both a human factors simulation experiment and traffic flow simulation analysis of the effects of driver decision making behavior in attempting to avoid nonrecurring congestion by diverting to alternate routes with the aid of in-vehicle navigation systems. The objective of the driver behavior experiment was to compare the effect of various experimental navigation systems on driver route diversion and alternate route selection. The objective of the traffic flow simulation analysis was to determine the consequences of driver decision making behavior on traffic network congestion. The experimental navigation system configurations included three map based systems with varying amounts of situation information and a non map-based route guidance system.
