5、Yokohama, 240-8501, Japan Abstract In high demand seasons, heavy traffic causes congestion not only on main carriageways but also in rest areas. Congestion in rest areas make vehicles cruising, crawling, standing and so

6、metimes reverse running inside the area to find a parking lot. Such vehicles form a queue and it may extend out to the main carriageway, which cause more serious congestion. At the same time, it is often observed there

7、 are still some available lots left in the back side of the area even though such information is provided. It means drivers do not always behave perfectly and the capacity of the rest area is not fully utilized. Therefo

8、re, it is important to understand how drivers make decisions of their behavior to select parking lots under congested situation to improve the performance of the parking capacity. Then, this study aims at revealing dri

9、vers’ choice behavior of parking lots in expressway rest area. Four rest areas were picked up to collect drivers’ choice behaviors considering the characteristics such as geometry, information provision etc. Video obs

10、ervation was conducted to obtain individual vehicles trajectories as well as the transition of the parking lots occupancy. VMS data showing parking lots availability was also gathered to check what kind of information w

11、as given when a driver made a choice behavior. At the same time, questionnaire survey was also done to understand drivers’ preference, behavioral factors etc. Based on the collected video and questionnaire data, drive

12、rs’ choice behaviors at diverging points inside the area were analyzed in detail. As a result, major influential factors were revealed to be “distance to the facilities”, “availability information on VMS” and “queue le

13、ngth in sight”. Moreover, the order of their importance was not always the same but varied depending on the condition of the parking lots occupancy. Especially, at near-saturated condition, drivers were affected more by

14、 a queue in front rather than VMS information. Finally, some implications for rest area design and operation were shown based on the results. 7 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V 1344 Shinji Tanaka et al. / Transp

15、ortation Research Procedia 25 (2017) 1342–13513. Methodology 3.1. Study area Four rest areas along a same expressway in the southwest of Tokyo were picked up to collect data regarding drivers’ choice behaviors. The char

16、acteristics such as geometry, information provision etc. are considered to select these areas. Their locations are shown in Fig. 2 and their major features are shown in Table 1. The major difference of these areas is e

17、xistence of recursive lane and VMS (Variable Message Sign). Here, recursive lane means a lane that connects the exit of a parking area and its entrance to make a loop as shown in Fig. 3. It can offer an additional oppo

18、rtunity for drivers who could not find any vacant parking lot to go around again. VMS is generally installed at diverging points of the entering approach so as to and provides information of parking lot availability ahe

19、ad of the point. It shows the availability by three levels, that is, “vacant (green)”, “congested (orange)” and “full (red)”. Rest area 1 and 2 are large scale areas that are located approximately 50km away from Tokyo

20、. There are no recursive lane in these areas and only area 2 has VMS. Rest area 3 is medium size and it is located approximately 80km away from Tokyo. It has several recursive lanes in different parts of the area but d

21、oes not have VMS. Rest area 4 is relatively small scale that is located approximately 100km away from Tokyo. It has both recursive lane and VMS. Table 1. Major characteristics of the study areas. (1) Ebina (Westbound)
