ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes a new generation of dynamic network equilibrium models, incorporating dynamic travel choice problems including motorists' departure/arrival time choice and route choice. The potential of technologically advanced telecommunication and information systems is attracting much attention. There is a variety of technological devices for information systems, there is a great diversity among travellers, and there are many site-specific conditions. The chapter also presents an overview of this book. The book is devoted to the simulation models for driver information systems. It addresses the question of modelling dynamic transportation networks with variational inequalities in an Intelligent Transportation Systems environment. The book explores the issue of welfare measurement in the context of information and rational expectation in modelling driver information systems. It deals with prediction models for freeway traffic control that can adequately handle the behavioural responses of travellers to real-time traffic information provision specifically with respect to route choice.
