The growing number of people commuting and making trips by bicycle and the associated health and environmental benefits of this trend has captured the attention of transportation engineers and planners in recent years. However, a review of the current literature reveals a limited understanding of travel behavior of bicyclists, in particular bicyclists' route choice behavior. This study investigates factors influencing bicyclists' route choice and examines their willingness to deviate from the shortest route. Intercept surveying techniques were coupled with a self-administered web-based surveying tool to collect mapped routes of bicyclists. The data were used to (1) perform multinomial logit (MNL) model estimations and (2) evaluate deviation ratios. The MNL model estimations suggested that factors such as exposure to vehicle traffic, number of signalized intersections, and overall safety were statistically significant with coefficient signs as expected. Travel time was found to be marginally significant with a coefficient sign as expected. The deviation ratio analysis found that in general bicyclists were willing to deviate 27% (1.27); persons in the 45 to 54 years of age category had the highest deviation ratio (1.45); males and females had the same deviation ratio (1.27); "very confident" bicyclists were willing to deviate 12% farther than "fairly confident" bicyclists; persons traveling more than 9 miles tended to have a higher deviation ratio; and work-based-trips had an 18% higher deviation ratio than non-work-based trips. The combine results suggest that bicyclists are willing to deviate considerably for a safe route with low exposure to vehicle traffic and signalized intersections.

One of the major impediments to developing a larger body of knowledge in travel behavior than we currently have is the lack of sufficient data at very detailed levels. The lack of sufficient data is the result of the inherent complexity of gathering and subsequently analyzing observations of the phenomena of interest. This is particularly true for route choice, a topic on which scant link-by-link data appear to be available, especially at multi-day level. In fact, very little empirical work is based on real world observation. This dissertation studies the factors that influence morning commuters route choice and route switching based on objective real-world observations of travel behavior during multi-day period. This dissertation tests the current route choice model assumption that travel time or travel distance is the only factor influencing drivers route choice decision. Investigation of the objective route choice factors confirms that minimizing travel time, although very important, is not the only factor that impacts route choice. Several other factors have been identified that impact commuters route choice. This dissertation examines the choice between using single or multiple morning commute routes. The results indicate the strong explanatory power of work schedule flexibility and trip-chaining on the choice of single or multiple commute routes compared to the commuters socio-demographic characteristics and commute route related attributes. This dissertation also presents an extensive effort in analyzing GPS-based travel behavior data and develops a methodology to subtract route choice information and trip-level travel information from the GPS-based vehicle activity data.

The overall objective of this research is to collect real world travel route data using Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and to develop the models needed to use these data in route choice and other travel behavior research. To achieve the goal three specific analyses are conducted. First, a GIS model was developed to divide the data stream recorded by the in-vehicle GPS receivers into individual trips with the start and end point of the trip being specifically identified. Second, a spatial model was developed to change the typology of the routes (or trips) from representation as a series of points into a series of continuous network links. Automating this data processing will allow analysis of larger datasets for more generalizable results. Third, travel time on each road link in the entire network was estimated using the sparse sample of GPS travel data (256 vehicles each for 10 days spreading over the 18 month study period) as travel time probes. This model is necessary so that the link travel times on each alternative routes faced by the drivers for each trip are known by researchers. This knowledge of the full network travel times, which has not been available in any previous research, will allow for the generation of alternative routes and comparison with the chosen routes to determine the relative influences of different factors on route choice. One specific unique aspect of this work is that data for calibration and evaluation of models were available. The evaluations of the models indicated which combination of parameters was best. The trip dividing model correctly identified 94% of the trips. The accuracy level of the point-to-link data conversion model was 95%. The average difference between the GPS recorded travel time and the estimated travel time for a trip is 70.8 seconds for the 12, 767 trips (average trip length 5,226 meters). Overall, this research provides the first highly reliable and fully evaluated series of GIS models to automatically process GPS collected travel route data. The results will increase the confidence and reliability of GPS usage for route choice research and other transportation planning exercises.

Choosing one route among multiple route options represent a navigation task that is influenced by many environmental factors. Several rules have been found that guide how navigators choose a route among several route alternatives. Those rules are called route choice principles. The current project investigates the effect of three environmental factors on people's route choice in a new task paradigm: choose one route among two route options to reach an initial destination when locations of later destinations are indicated. The three environment factors investigated are: size of the environment, visibility of later destinations, and regionalization in the environment. The current project tested, using virtual environments, the influence of these three factors on the recently-found “later-destination-attractor” (LDA) effect. Existing literature suggests that navigators' route choices adhere to different route choice principles in small-size versus large-size environments. We hypothesized that it is the memory load instead of environment size that makes a difference regarding which route choice principle navigators follow. Existing literature also suggests that the influence of regionalization in the environment, defined as how the environment is perceived as divided into different regions, differ between individuals who are and who are not sensitive to regions in the environment. The current project pits the regionalization effect against the LDA effect. We hypothesized that the general population could be categorized into two groups: region-sensitive and region-insensitive. Finally, we hypothesized that left-handers and right-handers would differ in their route preferences regardless of environmental factors.
