“…Moreover, there are also differences in the rationality of traffic information published, and some scholars have conducted exploratory research to address this issue. Diop et al have specifically focused on the information prompts of variable message signs (VMSs) in cities, attempting to objectively quantify travelers' attitudes towards traffic information publishing from several dimensions, such as familiarity with travel routes, quality of information published, and attitude towards changing routes [103]. Meneguzzer has pointed out that different travelers have different attitudes towards traffic information, and because each traveler has different lengths of memory time for past travel experiences, they often hold different degrees of critical attitudes when examining traffic information prompts [104,105].…”

Urban day-to-day travel systems generally exist in various types of cities. Their modeling is difficult due to the uncertainty of individual travelers in micro travel decision-making. Moreover, with the advent of the information age, intelligent connected vehicles, smartphones, and other types of intelligent terminals have placed urban day-to-day travel systems in an information environment. In such an environment, the travel decision-making processes of travelers are significantly affected, making it even more difficult to give theoretical explanations for urban day-to-day travel systems. Considering that analyzing urban day-to-day travel patterns in an information environment is of great significance for governing the constantly developing and changing urban travel system and, thus, of great importance for the sustainable development of cities, this paper gives a systematic review of the theoretical research on urban day-to-day travel and its development in an information environment over the past few decades. More specifically, the basic explanation of an information environment for urban day-to-day travel is given first; subsequently, the theoretical development of micro decision-making related to individual day-to-day travelers in an information environment is discussed, and the theoretical development related to changes in urban macro traffic flow, which can be recognized as the aggregation effect formed by individual micro decision-making, is also discussed; in addition, the development of understanding different types of traffic information that travelers may obtain in an information environment is discussed; finally, some important open issues related to the deep impact of information environment on urban day-to-day travel systems that require further research are presented. These valuable research directions include using information methods to fit day-to-day travel patterns of cities and implementing macro and micro integrated modeling for urban day-to-day travel systems based on complex system dynamics and even quantum mechanics.

“…This detour behavior development process, explained by Kusakabe et al (2012) and supported by the results of other studies (Sharples et al , 2016; Shen and Yang, 2020), highlights the importance of the level of information that drivers need to comply with VMS messages. In addition to these, by extending the technology acceptance model, Diop et al (2020) found an important role of perceived quality of information sent via VMS and familiarity with the road network in the acceptance of VMS messages and detour or route-switching behavior.…”

Purpose WIth limited research on the effects of variable message sign (VMS) message content and verbiage on revealed driver behavior, this study aims to investigate how different verbiage of crash-related messages are related to the diversion rate. Design/methodology/approach Using ordered logit models, the associations of message verbiage with diversion rates during crash incidents were assessed using five years of VMS message history within a section of I-15 in the state of Utah. Findings A significant impact of message verbiage on the diversion rate was observed. Based on the analysis results, the crash message verbiage with the highest diversion was found to be miles to crash + “prepare to stop,” followed by crash location + delay information, miles to crash + “use caution” + lane of the crash, etc. In addition, the diversion rate was found to be correlated to some roadway characteristics (e.g. occupancy in mainline, weather condition and light condition) along with the temporal variations. Research limitations/implications These findings could be used by transportation agencies (e.g. state department of transportation [DOTs]) to make informed decisions about choosing the message verbiage during future crash incidents. This study also revealed that higher diversion rates are associated with a shorter distance between the crash location and VMS device location, recommending increasing the number of VMS devices, particularly in crash-prone areas.

“…Based on the factors of information technology in the study conducted by Song et al [43], it is claimed that the existing use of technologies would help to provide information to calculate components such as the quantity of the design work produced, whereas Diop et al [44] also confirmed that technology aided in the collection and dissemination of user information in an efficient system. In the study of Song et al [43], information is presented in a good format using the application of software technology.…”

Perceived Usefulness of Airborne LiDAR Technology in Road Design and Management: A Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveying technology plays an important role in road design, and it is increasingly implemented in the design stage. The ability of LiDAR as a remote sensing technology to be used in non-accessible places (i.e., hilly terrain, steep slope) makes it a powerful tool, and it has the potential to provide benefits that simplify existing design processes for designers and practitioners. This paper reviews the application of airborne LiDAR in road design and factors including items from the perceived usefulness of technology. The context of the future direction of LiDAR technology is highlighted in civil engineering road design, roadway inspection and as-built documentation. The implementation of this technology is expected to assist the end-users in developing more manageable planning for road construction and thus to ensure the usage of LiDAR technology is enhanced from time to time, especially in Malaysia.
