Choice of speed under compromised Dynamic Message Signs.
This study explores speed choice behavior of travelers under realistic and fabricated Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) content. Using web-based survey information of 4,302 participants collected by Amazon Mechanical Turk in the United States, we develop a set of multivariate latent-based ordered probit models participants. Results show female, African-Americans, drivers with a disability, elderly, and drivers who trust DMS are likely to comply with the fabricated messages. Drivers who comply with traffic regulations, have a good driving record, and live in rural areas, as well as female drivers are likely to slow down under fabricated messages. We highlight that calling or texting, taking picture, and tuning the radio are distracting activities leading drivers to slow down or stop under fictitious scenarios
Wait time, travel time and waiting during travel: existing research and future directions
Wait time, travel time, and waiting during travel are closely related time uses that often overlap in how they are perceived, viewed, and/or valued. Studying these time uses is critical within a transport context because they can define or influence the experience of the overall trip. In this editorial, we synthesise major themes, and identify avenues for future research, a key one being the bi-directional relationship between travel and the duration and experience of the activity at the destination
