Day-to-day travel time perception modeling using an adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)

Abstract

Travel time perception and learning play a central role in the modeling of day-to-day travel choice dynamics in traffic networks and have attracted the attention of many researchers, specifically for the analysis and operation of intelligent transportation systems and travel demand management scenarios. In this paper, a fuzzy learning model is proposed to capture the mechanism by which travelers update their travel time perceptions from one day to the next, taking into account their experienced travel times. To capture travelers’ mental representations of uncertain travel time involving imprecision and uncertainty, a combined artificial neural network and fuzzy logic (neuro-fuzzy) architecture called adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system is employed. This framework, which utilizes a set of fuzzy if–then rules, can serve as a basis for modeling the qualitative sides of travelers’ knowledge and reasoning processes. From the output of this study, the results of our laboratory-like experiment provide a good fit to the stated data of travelers’ behavior, and may reflect the fact that the neuro-fuzzy approach can be considered a promising method in learning and perception updating models. Finally, the proposed learning model is embedded in a microscopic event-based simulation framework to evaluate its credibility within a day-to-day behavior of the traffic network. The results of the simulation, which converge to the equilibrium state of the test network, are finally presented, implying that the proposed perception updating model operates properly.
