Highway ON-401 is among the most congested roadways in North America with a substantial mix of both passenger and commercial traffic. This trend is expected to worsen as e-commerce continues growing alongside population and economic development. Alternatively, tolled corridors such as Highway ON-407ETR have the potential to minimize congestion by re-distributing system-wide traffic and lowering negative environmental and economic impacts. Research on commercial vehicle route choice is needed to inform planners in developing strategies that balance mobility and sustainability. Potential factors developed from an exhaustive literature review are incorporated into a stated preference survey on routing decisions. The results of this survey are used to calibrate mixed multinomial logit models estimating the probability of route selection for trucks. Findings indicate heterogeneity in truck route choice where on average, they are willing to pay up to $81 (2020 CAD) to save one hour of their travel time.

This research studies the decision-making process and the factors that affect truck routing. The data collection involved intercept interviews with truck drivers at three rest area and truck stops along major highways in North America. The computerized survey solicited information on truck routing decisions, the identity of the decision-makers, the factors that affect routing and sources of information consulted in making these decisions. Stated Preferences (SP) experiments were conducted, where drivers' choice behaviour between two hypothetical scenarios were observed and modeled. 252 drivers completed the survey, yielding 1121 valid SP observations. This data was used to study the identity of routing decision makers for various driver segments and the sources of information used both in pre-trip planning and en-route. A random effects logit model was estimated using the SP data. The results show that there are significant differences in the route choice decision-making process among various driver segments, and that these decisions are affected by multiple factors beyond travel time and cost. These factors include shipping and driver employment terms, such as the method of calculation of pay and bearing of fuel costs and tolls.

Understanding how reliability is valued is important because it provides insight into how aims of policies that aspire to provide better transport options can be more fully integrated with user expectations. Better reliability is a desired outcome of transportation policies because it reduces scheduling costs. This study uses a stated preference survey to collect route preference data, in which each route is described by the travel time experience on it. Because travel-time decisions are made from momentary recollections of past experience, the paradigm adopted in this study is that the mode travel time rather than the mean is the important basis for travel time decisions. The authors then explore three alternate measures of reliability and use them to estimate route choice models on the basis of the stated preference data. Two of the measures, range coupled with lateness probability and standard deviation, have been explored before. A third measure based on time moment (moments of inertia) measured from the mode travel time is also proposed and tested. Each measure reveals something different about how people value different aspects of reliability. In all cases, reliability is valued highly, although differently depending on how it is defined. The values of reliability and travel time highlight that transportation policy makers can provide significant benefits to users from strategies that seek to increase reliability.

With the ever increasing number of opportunities, in every aspect of modem life, making choices becomes part of our daily routine. It is thus only natural that social scientists have started to study human choice behavior. Early efforts focused on modeling aggregate choice patterns of home buyers, shoppers, travelers, and others. Later studies, aiming to achieve more realistic results, have concentrated on simula ting disaggregate behavior. The most recent approach in choice research is the so-called Discrete Choice Modeling. It is a front-line area mainly in contemporary transportation, geography, and behavioral research. It focuses on individuals' decision-making processes regarding the choice of destinations, modes, departure times, and routes. Considerable research has been done on identifying and quantify ing the general rules governing the individuals' choice behavior, but to the best of our knowledge there is no single book that solely deals with route choice. The study of travelers' route choice in networks is primarily oriented towards gaining insight into their spatial choice behavior. How do people choose routes in a network, what do they know, what do they look for, which road characteristics playa role? On the basis of this information it is possible to design quantitative models aimed at predicting the use of routes dependent on the characteristics of the routes, those of the surrounding environment, and those of the travelers. In this way, traffic flows in the network can be calculated and the network performance can be evaluated.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) owns and operates a state highway network of 12,000 miles, which carries approximately 80 percent of vehicle miles traveled in the state. Construction, maintenance, weather and other events often lead to lane closures or restrictions, causing inconvenience to road users. WisDOT developed numerous strategies for identifying alternate routes that drivers can use when highway travel times are affected by planned or unplanned events. Despite these efforts, WisDOT has observed that many alternate routes are underused, even when those routes would save travelers significant travel time. The objective of this project was to examine the decision-making processes of Wisconsin drivers regarding route selection, including their decisions to use (or not use) an alternate route instead of the highway network. Factors that were examined included how and when drivers make initial decisions about a preferred route, for both familiar and unfamiliar trips; the factors that influence their decisions to divert or not divert from their usual (or current) route to an alternate route; and the information sources they would most likely consult for travel and route information.

Route choice problem is among the most complicated steps in transportation planning and travel demand analysis. Various individual-specific and environmental factors, as well as route information, play significant roles on route decision making process. While determining these factors through stated preference methods appears not to be sufficiently realistic and accurate, many of these factors can be derived through experimental simulator tests. Travelers' perceptions of travel time and distance (for the route taken) and their reactions to real-time traffic information can be measured for human subjects from diverse socio-demographics in a simulation based experiment under controlled traffic conditions.-- Abstract.
