A Study of Driver''s Dynamic Route Choice Behavior with Navigation Aids by Concept of Cognitive Map / 駕駛者認知地圖與車內導航系統使用行為模式之探討

碩士 / 淡江大學 / 運輸管理學系 / 92 / The in-vehicle navigation system being a subsystem of the advanced travel information system (ATIS) has gained its popularity as an optional device in many automobile models recently. Generally the navigation system provides road condition report, navigation and route guidance (recommendation) functions which may or may not alter the user''s travelling (most significantly route choice) decisions. However, the effectiveness of this device depends much on the interaction between the user''s individual characteristics, provided information and the network configurations.
In this thesis, theory of cognitive map from Psychology and geographical information of Geography were investigated respectively and integrated into the discrete travel demand modeling in Transportation to establish a specific form of node-to-node dynamic route switching behavior model for auto drivers under the influence of the travel information provided by in-vehicle navigation system
Two-stage study was implemented in this thesis, the first stage was an altitude survey with built-in cognitive map and geographical information concept for selected auto-driving subjects followed by a series of statistical analysis to extract and identify the key factors affecting the individual’s perception of the presence of the network configuration as well as the related way-finding characteristics. The second stage was a controlled experiment where the selected subjects were instructed to perform dynamic route choice driving experiment with a laboratory simulator for distinct familiar or unfamiliar environment and two different types of networks. The simulator was developed to mimic the functions and displays of in-vehicle route guidance/navigation systems. Think-aloud approach was also implemented through both the first stage and the designed experiment process of the second stage to reveal how provided information is perceived and used to affect the dynamic route choice behavior. Finally, dynamic node-to-node route switching models were constructed and calibrated in probit model structure.
Three variations of models with the notion of indifference-bands were calibrated according to the defined reference-route as noted by recommended route, habitual route, and dynamic route, respectively. The results have shown that different models were best fitted for different user groups (defined by way-finding capability) and can be properly interpreted between network types under familiar and unfamiliar regions.
