Abstract: We propose a microscopic decision model for route choice based on discrete choice theory. The correlation of overlapping routes is included in the random portions of the utility explicitly. For computational efficiency, we restrict the choice set to the turning possibilities at the next intersection, assuming shortest paths to the destination afterwards. The proposed decision model also regards traffic conditions (e.g. traffic lights, long queues) such that drivers may revise their previously taken decision. Due to its compatibility to already existing microscopic traffic flow models, the proposed route choice model can be readily simulated with available software. Combined, the proposed decision model features realistic behavior, i.e., adaptive choice based on incomplete information and simultaneously allows for a straightforward implementation.
