The main research goal of the thesis is to develop and validate a methodology to predict or estimate the influence of different, new information systems for car drivers. The primary reason to develop such a methodology lies in the fact that existing tools to estimate the influence of various traffic measures are insufficiently suited to deal with information systems as an input variable. These tools or methodologies either assume that all travellers are already perfectly informed, or, when not, these methodologies can only cope with information as some abstract quality, or can evaluate only one specific, and not necessarily realistic information system. More specifically, the behavioral decision processes in travel and the role of information in these processes are inadequately specified in the current tools. The current research therefore also attempts to formulate a conceptual framework to further develop behavioral theory on decision making in transport.
