Based on previous information about drivers' behavior, six types of driver Route Choice Behavior were studied. Using the VISSIM simulator, the effectiveness evaluation models of each traveler type was developed. The simulation-based model evaluated various types of guidance information; including dynamic route guidance using variable message signs (VMS), under the same travel demands. The results indicate that VMS can reduce travel time of related roads and VMS can markedly increase the network speed.
