摘要: |
39 subjects each controlled a simulated vehicle through a simple road network: one freeway, one alternate route with two traffic lights. All subjects traveled simultaneously (share the road) and in the same direction to their destination. Each participants started with $14.00 endowment that decreases at $0.15 per second until they reached their destination. Each subject began on the freeway, and were given one opportunity each round to switch to the alternate route. The simulation has a Changeable Message Sign (CMS) within 8 seconds before alternate route off-ramp is reached. The CMS varied based on the each scenario being tested. (See image section below for diagram of CMS content.) The sessions presented the subjects with information that used publicly or privately visible vehicle identifiers to target the diversion recommendation at specific individuals. Another session presented standard Caltrans CMS information, and one of the sessions presented a dynamically updated desired diversion rate. Detailed statistical analyses of all treatments were completed, including the estimation of models describing the learning processes and behavioral changes of subjects in response to CMS content and the outcomes of previous route choices. |
