Advanced guide signs and behavioral decision theory
The Problem. Advanced guide signs can display information that affects driver behavior. Thus they can be used to relieve traffic and parking congestion. To use this opportunity effectively, we need a theory of the effects of travel and parking information on driver decisions. Role of Driving Simulators. Driving simulators can provide quality data in controlled experiments that investigate the effects of travel and parking information on decision-making. Key Results of Driving Simulator Studies. There is evidence that people employ simple heuristics, often involving one-piece-at-a-time processing of information and the use of thresholds, for deciding whether to choose a travel route or a parking spot. Scenarios and Dependent Variables. Examples of the simulation scenarios used include driving on a highway and having to choose whether to divert to an alternative route or not, as well as driving on a city street and having to choose among several parking lots. Platform Specificity and Equipment Limitations. Not all simulators have the scenario development tools required to implement the scenarios discussed above because there are requirements on the quality of visual images.

Abstract
The Problem. Advanced guide signs can display information that affects driver behavior. Thus they can be used to relieve traffic and parking congestion. To use this opportunity effectively, we need a theory of the effects of travel and parking information on driver decisions. Role of Driving Simulators. Driving simulators can provide quality data in controlled experiments that investigate the effects of travel and parking information on decision-making. Key Results of Driving Simulator Studies. There is evidence that people employ simple heuristics, often involving one-piece-at-a-time processing of information and the use of thresholds, for deciding whether to choose a travel route or a parking spot. Scenarios and Dependent Variables. Examples of the simulation scenarios used include driving on a highway and having to choose whether to divert to an alternative route or not, as well as driving on a city street and having to choose among several parking lots. Platform Specificity and Equipment Limitations. Not all simulators have the scenario development tools required to implement the scenarios discussed above because there are requirements on the quality of visual images.
