Abstract:

In the paper, the passenger’s behavior of routing selection is analyzed based on the theory that rationaleconomic man always pursues the maximum value of individual utility. The pathcosts that passengers always concerned are: travel distance, influence of barriers, individual physical limitations, mutual influence with other pedestrians and the stimuli of environment, etc. In terms of the pathcosts mentioned above, the classification of passengers routing selection and the individual activity mode, the paper proposes a routing selection model based on the individual utility. With the individual utility, passengers make their decisions on what kind of routes to choose. The model is suitable for the heterogeneous group with different properties. Lasting the section, two simple case studies are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the model. The subjective of the two groups are those travelers with time pressure and without travel time pressure.
