Abstract

The potential impacts that may be expected from new information and telecommunication systems applied to transport are considerable. However, as is the case with any new technological innovation, at the basis of success of transport telematics lies the acceptance by potential users, which suggests that there is a clear need to investigate the user side of these technologies. Given this need to explore the interaction between human behaviour and transport telematics, the aim of this paper is to investigate behavioral factors and their interrelationships in the use and diffusion of new telematics technologies. We will focus our attention on those systems which provide information to various categories of users, viz. public transport users and private car users. A conceptual framework is presented that covers all variables of interest for the investigation of user responses to these technologies. An important explanatory variable for acceptance of new telematics technologies is user segmentation; it has to be recognized that the effects of respective technological innovations will vary between various groups of transport users. In analyzing in more detail the dynamics of individual behaviour, we will also present a theoretical concept of information use by
