This study aims at analyzing drivers' behavior in acquiring and using trac information in an environment with multiple information sources. Accordingly, information acquisition and reference models are developed in an eort to show the empirical relationship between drivers' reaction to multiple information sources, causal factors latent psychological ones, trac conditions at the time of traveling and the accuracy of trac information available. A route choice model is proposed that takes into account the information acquisition and reference process. Model validity is investigated using data collected on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway, which has four dierent types of information sources.
