The purpose of this research is to investigate the approach of a driver in choosing a particular route from various available routes while making a road trip. Route choice depends on individual characteristics, route features, trip purpose and various other attributes involved in trip making. Route choice behavior is studied through a means of questionnaire circulated amongst the faculty, staff and students at The University of Toledo. Socio-demographic information, trip characteristics and commuters’ attitude in selecting a particular route are studied through the responses from the survey. Statistical analysis is carried out to determine the effects of such attributes as the route choice behavior and the way they differ with the purpose of the trip. This study adopts the method of principle component analysis in order to group certain attributes measuring same underlying values. Mann-Whitney Test, correlation analysis, binary logistics regression and grouping techniques are used to analyze the commuter route choice behavior in detail. It is concluded from this study that individual characteristics, purpose of the trip and route attributes are the factors that affect the route choice of commuters. 2004-08-25 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1091750455 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1091750455 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
