Abstract

Conventional logit-based models with cross-sectional data are not capable of capturing the individual's behavior that is correlated over time. Although panel data provide the source of information to overcome this issue, collecting panel data, especially from revealed preference data, is generally expensive and difficult in practice. The present paper shows the use of repeated observations from Electronic Toll Collection (STC) data with information about attributes derived from detectoe data to analyze and model route choice and route switching behavior on a selected study area of the Tokyo Metropolitan Expresswey. In general, the estimated results show that drivers respond differently to different levels of congestion information. Moreover, when accounting for the panel data, the factors that capture panel effect are highly significant stasistically and improvement of the models' goodness of fit can be observed for both behavioral models.
