CHARACTERISTICS OF DRIVERS' ROUTE SELECTION BEHAVIOUR

J A Benshoof

Open publisher page 34 citations

Abstract

TO ANALYZE THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE ROUTE SELECTION PROCESS, THE TRIP-MAKING CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN A LARGE RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE CENTER OF NEWCASTLE WERE EXAMINED. STATISTICAL ANALYSES WERE APPLIED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF PERSONAL AND TRIP-MAKING CHARACTERISTICS ON THE NUMBER OF ROUTES CONSIDERED TO BE AVAILABLE, THE TIME WHEN A ROUTE IS SELECTED, AND THE REASON(S) FOR SELECTION. FOR ALL MOTORISTS SURVEYED, THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT MOST MOTORISTS CONSIDERED ONLY TWO OR THREE ROUTES, SELECTED A ROUTE BEFORE BEGINNING A TRIP, AND EXPRESSED SEVERAL REASONS FOR SELECTING A ROUTE. /AUTHOR/
