Abstract

The paper reports laboratory experiments with a two route choice scenario. In each session 18 subjects had to choose between a main road M and a side road S. The capacity of M was larger. Feedback was given in treatment I only on the subjects' own travel time and in treatment II on travel time for M and S. The main results are as follows:

• Mean numbers on M and S are near to pure equilibrium.

• Fluctuations persist until the end of the sessions.

• The total number of changes is significantly greater in treatment I.
• Subjects' road changes and payoffs are negatively correlated.

• A direct response mode results in more changes for bad payoffs whereas a contrary response mode shows opposite reactions.

• Simulations of an extended payoff sum learning model fits the main results of the statistical evaluation of the data.
