Dynamic network models are needed to analyze traffic congestion patterns for new real-time motorist information systems. A dynamic network modeling framework incorporating behavioral models of drivers' route and departure time choices and their day-to-day adjustment processes is extended to include explicit models of drivers' information acquisition and integration. The need for these models is motivated by considering the possible beneficial and counter-productive effects that may be caused by enhanced motorist information. The report presents the structure of a dynamic model in which newly acquired information may affect pre-trip and en-route travel decisions.
