Applicable to large networks with improvements in realistic modeling features, memory, and runtime. Adaptive Route Choice Models: Specification, Choice Set Generation, and Estimation Design and implementation of computer algorithms for choice set generation in real-life large networks. Estimation of the first adaptive route choice model using revealed preference (RP) data, where travelers are provided with real-time information. Latent-class, latent-choice, latent-path Policy Size Logit model - a multinomial logit (MNL) model adding a term to the deterministic utility to correct for the overlapping among alternatives. Significant step towards building a more accurate traffic prediction model under real-time information. Case study is conducted in Stockholm, Sweden. Adaptive Route Choice Models Without Choice Set Generation: Specification and Estimation Design and implementation of computer algorithms for an adaptive route choice model with unrestricted choice set, which consistently estimates parameters based on path observations through repeated link choice. Equivalent to a MNL form but with infinitely many alternatives.
