The principle of driver’s route choice has long been the shortest path with a fixed time penalty of a toll. It is also understood that traffic is assigned on the road network based on user equilibrium with perfect information assumption. This paper demonstrates two empirical studies that pose questions to these traditional assumptions, to better understand route choice behavior. Multi-class user equilibrium assignment with imperfectly informed drivers’ classes is applied to a metropolitan area network first. Next, route choice behavior is directly observed and analyzed using probe’ car data.
