Abstract
In order to evaluate ITS options and dynamic TDM options, it has become important to understand how to integrate traffic simulations and dynamic travel behaviour choice models. Although Traffic simulation is well organised, visual and understandable, it looks weak in regards to representing user behaviour. From the standpoint of travel behaviour analysis, this paper points out the consistency problems and specific points in the integration of traffic simulation and dynamic route choice model or dynamic time-of-day choice model. It is recommended that fundamental concepts, such as choice set and user segmentation be incorporated appropriately into traffic simulations.
