选择路线是一项复杂的任务，特别是因为道路容量有限，并且道路使用者不合作地寻求优化自己的行程。本文介绍了三个实验室路线选择实验的结果。在所有的实验中，参与者都必须在高通行能力的收费公路和免费公路之间反复选择。我们调查出行前的信息所产生的路线使用动态的作用。除了缺乏一个稳定的平衡点（Wardrop的用户平衡），我们发现，随着时间的推移，参与者改善他们的决策作为学习的结果。只有在只有少数参与者拥有这种信息的情况下，补充信息才显得有用。此外，我们发现，在所观察到的道路使用模式的性别相关的差异：女性参与者更有可能选择收费公路比男性参与者。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Choosing a route is a complex task, especially since the roads' capacities are limited and road users non-cooperatively seek to optimize their own trip. This article present the results of three in-laboratory route choice experiments. In all experiments the participants had to choose repeatedly between a high-capacity toll-road and a toll-free main road. We investigate the role of pre-trip information on the resulting route usage dynamics. Besides the absence of a stable equilibrium point (Wardrop's User Equilibrium), we found that the participants improve their decisions over the course of time as a result of learning. Additional information appears only useful if only a limited number of participants possess such information. Moreover, we found gender-related differences in the observed road usage patterns: female participants were more likely to choose the toll road than male participants. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
