Abstract - Travelling is one of the most importantactivities
people engage in to serve various purposes of everyday life.
Route choice modelling is essential in terms of transportation
planning which requirespredictingfuturetrafficconditionson
transportation networks and understanding travellers
response and adaptation to sources of information. The main
objectives of the study is to predict the route choices for the
thrissur city and to determine the significant factors. These
perceptions and preferencesbasedonroutecharacteristicsare
then tied to travellers personal attributes such as income, age,
gender, and other socio-economic characteristics. Household
survey is carried out in Thrissur city for collecting travellers
information. Survey is carried out in the 52 corporation ward
of Thrissur City. The collected data is analysed and thehighest
number of trip attraction (destination) and production
(origin) zones are identified and the origins and destination is
fixed. Fuzzy Logic concept is used to modeltheuncertainroute
choice behaviour.From the Fuzzy Inference System, the result
obtained are for Punkunnam the mostly choosen routes are
Thrissur Kuttipuram Road andKodungallurShornurRoad, for
Nedupuzha the mostly choosen routes are Kodungallur
Shornur/SWaraj round and Kodungallur Shornur Road,for
Mannuthy the mostly choosen routes are Thrissur Palakkad
Road and Thrissur Mannamangalam Road, forKuttumuckthe
mostly choosen route.In this study factors affecting route
choice between alternate routes were identified using Surface
Plots.They are Travel Cost, Distance, travel time between
Origin and Destination and Type of Employment.

1.INTRODUCTION
The process of allocating given set of tripinterchangesto the
specifed transportation system is usually referred to as
traffic assignment. The fundamental aim of the traffic
assignment process is to reproduce on the transportation
system, the pattern of vehicular movements whichwould be
observed when the travel demand represented by the trip
matrix, or matrices, to be assigned is satisfied. The traffic
assignment or route assignment problem is one of the
critical steps in travel demand forecasting process. It is used
to forecast traffic flow of links in a network, given the traffic
volumes between the origin destination nodes and the
characteristics of the links.
The study of travel behaviour is a broad topic that provides
insights into the choices that individuals and households
make about their travel needs. Within this broadarea lie
various sub-categories likestudyofmodechoice,destination
choice, route choice, and so forth. The interplay of these
different choice dimensions is what makes the analysis of
travel behaviour so complex and yet interesting. Over the
years, travel behaviour researchers have worked towards
the development of increasingly sophisticated quantitative
models, often used in conjunction with qualitative
approaches, which could offer us powerful tools for helping
us to understand those complexities. Although,
understanding route choice behaviourisonlya dimensionto
overall travel behaviour analysis, it does provideveryuseful
insights into travellers decision making process which can
eventually be tied back to broad travel behaviorassessment.
Route choice prediction is also essential in terms of
transportation planning which requires predicting future
traffic conditions on transportation networks and
understanding travellersresponseandadaptationtosources
of information.
It involves evaluating travellers perception of route
characteristics that include travel time,cost,distance,safety,
reliability and so. These perceptions and preferences based
on route characteristics are then tied to travellers personal
attributes such as income, age, gender, and other socio-
economic characteristics. Route choice prediction or
development depends on human behaviour, travellers
imperfect knowledge about the transportation network
composition, and the uncertainty and heterogeneity
associated with travellers perceptions about route
characteristics.
Travellers decision to take particular routes depends on the
utilities associated with these routes. In Thrissur City , the
nature of transportation system as well as availability of
mode, comfort of the mode, road surface conditions etc. are
different. No study has been done by using Fuzzy Logic to
address this issue of how people choose their route in
Thrissur, more precisely in Thrissurcity.Inthisthesis efforts
will be given to predict the route choices using Fuzzy Logic
for one origin and one destination point in the context of
Thrissur City.

predicts the number of trips originating in or destined for a
particular traffic analysis zone. Typically, trip generation
analysis focuses on residences, and residential trip
generation is thought of as a function of the social and
economic attributes of households. At the level of the traffic
analysis zone, residential land uses "produce" or generate
trips. Traffic analysis zones are alsodestinationsoftrips,trip
attractors.The analysis of attractors focuses on
nonresidential land uses.
Modeling of human choice mechanism has been a topic of
intense discussion in the transportation community for
many years. In most choice situations, the decisionmaker
(traveler) also experiences uncertainty becauseofthelack of
complete information on the choices. In the traditional
modeling framework, the uncertainty of the analystandthat
of the decision-maker are both embedded in the same
random term and not clearly separated (Mauro et.al.)[2],
travellers behavioural characteristicsintheday-to-dayroute
choice are considered by forgetting previous travel times,
risk attitude, habit effect, travellers amount of attention on
the route choice being made, perceptionofactual travel time,
etc. Zhengbing [3].
Route choice behavior depends on travel cost. Travel time,
traffic safety, comfort, habits and socioeconomic and
demographic characteristicsofwhichtravel timeisgenerally
the key factor of all. Overall approach for the route choice is
to evaluate costs of each route and to choose the route with
lowest travel cost(Chaun et.al.)[4]. Primary paramaters
while making a choice between an originanddestination are
travel time, traffic safety, cost (fuel), traffic signs, jam and
queing, road type, landscape, road constructionandhabitual
effects. Cost is generally proportional with travel time.
Traffic safety, travel time, congestion and environmental
effects were the main variables considered in the study
(Yetis sazi et.al.,)[5]. The choice of a particular route is
dynamic in character and depends on many factors. Infact,a
driver chooses a route by considering inputs from different
set of information. For example, a drivers decisiontoselecta
particular route depends on the characteristics of the trips
(e.g. purpose, time, origin, destination, and mode) to be
made, the attributes of the alternative routes available and
the characteristics of the driver (Agata et.al.,)[6] and (Eran
et.al.)[7].
The questionnaire was designed to extract information
regarding the particular route one userwasusingatthetime
of conducting the survey and the reasons behind choosing
the particular route. The reasons or variables which
significantly influence the individuals route choice behavior
were selected based on the literature review. Since bus
routes were considered for this study, only bus users socio
economic characteristics and travel attributes (both route
attributes and bus attributes) were considered as the
influential indicatorsforroutechoice.Thefactorsconsidered
are Age, Gender, Monthly Income, Distance, Travel Cost,
Travel Time, Waiting Time, Comfort level, Safety Level,
Security Level and Regularity Level (Nandita Basu et.al.)[8].

4.4 DESIGN OF SURVEY PERFORMA SHEET
The heart of any survey research project is a survey
questionnaire itself. Although itiseasytothink ofinteresting
questions to ask people, constructing a good survey
questionnaire is not easy at all. The problem is that the
answers people give can be influenced in unintended ways
by the wording of the items, the response option provided,
and many other factors.
A questionnaire was designed for a home interview survey
for surveying road users. The questionnaireconsistsofthree
parts. Part A consist of socioeconomic information, part B
consists of personal information, part C consist of travel
information on the private road users. The model of the
questionnaire is shown in Appendix A. Name of the
household head, type of dwelling, number of members etc
are the factors included in the socio-economic information.
Gender, age, income, occupation, Vehicle Ownership are the
major factors in personal information. Route
selected,Purpose of Trip, Frequency of trip, Mode used for
Trip, Travel time, Travel cost, Traffic congestion on the
selected route, road condition of the selected route
habituation of route, are the factors included in the travel
information part of the
questionnaire form.
4.5 CONCEPT OF FUZZY LOGIC
MATLAB fuzzy logic toolbox facilitates the development of
fuzzy-logic systemsusinggraphical userinterface(GUI)tools
command line functionality. The tool can be used for
building Fuzzy Expert Systems Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy
Inference Systems(ANFIS). There are five primary GUI tools
for building, editing, and observing fuzzy inference systems
in the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox :
 Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Editor
 Membership Function Editor
 Rule Editor
 Rule Viewer
 Surface Viewer
5. DATA COLLECTION
For this study, data is one of the major factors. Data
collection was done by a home interview survey using the
predefined questionnaire.
5.1 Sample Size Selection Criteria
Estimation of sample size in research using Krejcie and
Morgan is a commonly employed method. Sample size
estimated by Krejcie and Morgan (1970) with help of the
equation .
Where,
s = required sample size.
N = population size.
p = population proportion (assumed to be 0.50 since this
would provide maximum sample size)
e = degree of accuracy expressed as a proportion (0.05)
To get data from every wards, 48 individuals (or 12 houses)
will be selected in random from all the 52 wards. Hence, a
total sample of 2496 individuals will be obtained as sample
for the survey.After surveying, the highest number of
attraction zone is identified as Thekkinkadu and the highest
number of production zones are identified as Punkunnam,
Kuttumuck, Nedupuzha and Mannuthy. The household
survey is again conducted in these zones abouta samplesize
of 200.
6. DATA ANALYSIS
Stratification of the collected samples is discussed in the
following sections. The collected data is entered in the
Microsoft Excel and the preliminary analysis is done.Fuzzy
Toolbox in MATLAB is used for the remaininganalysisandto
obtain the result.

6.4 Fuzzy Rule-Base Formulation
Fuzzy rule base generation is a very important phase in the
Fuzzy Inference System. A fuzzy rule base consists of a
number of If-Then rules. Intersection Rule Configuration
(IRC) method was adopted for rule generation. In this
method, every possible combination of rules are explored
and are used to determine the outcome. Fuzzy inference
mechanism works on the principle of simple and logical If-
then rules. Total 160 numbers of IF-THEN rules are
formulated here based on the logical thinking and general
experience. One example of the rule is shown below:
If Age is MAA AND Gender is MALE AND IncomeisLOWAND
Mode is 2W AND Type of Employment is PE AND Travel
Time is LOW AND Distance is LOW AND Travel Cost is LOW
AND Type Of Activity isWANDCongestionisMEDIUMTHEN
Route choice is R1.

6.5 Defuzzification Process
The fuzzy output of the fuzzy inference system cannot be
used directly for application purpose and hence the
defuzzification of the aggregated output fuzzy sets is carried
by using Centroid method, to convert the linguistic output
into crisp format. The fuzzy output of the fuzzy inference
system cannot be used directly for application purpose and
hence the defuzzification of the aggregated outputfuzzysets
is carried by using Centroid method, to convertthelinguistic
output into a crisp format. The rule viewer can be used as
diagnostic to see, the rules which are getting fired for
particular input values and how individual membership
function shapes influence the results.
And the output for Punkunnam is If Age = 42, G = 1 , Income
= 30000 , Type of Employment = 4 , Mode=3, Travel time =
9.2 , Distance =3.3 , Travel Cost =20 , Type of Activity=2 ,
Congestion = 2 then the Crisp Output = 0.374 and the
Choosen routes are R1 and R2 (Fig 14). And the output for
kuttummuck is If Age = 50, G = 2, Income = 65000 , Type of
Employment = 3 , Mode=3, Travel time = 16.6 , Distance
=7.68, Travel Cost =45 , Type of Activity=2 , Congestion =2
then the Crisp Output =0.488 the Choosen route is R2.(Fig

7. CONCLUSIONS
Route choice behaviour is one of main components of
Transport System. In this study Fuzzy Logic Models is used
to predict the route choice behaviour of a user. In this study
factors affecting route choice between alternateroutes were
identified using Surface Plots.They are Travel Cost,Distance,
travel time between origin and destination and Type of
Employment. The result shows that for Punkunnam the
mostly choosen routes are Thrissur Kuttippuram Road (R1)
and Kodungallur Shornur Road (R2).For Nedupuzha the
mostly choosen routes are Kodungallur Shornur
Road/Swaraj round (R1) and Kodungallur Shornur Road
(R2). For Mannuthy the mostly choosen routes are Thrissur
Palakkad Road (R1) and Thrissur Mannamangalam Road
(R2) and for Kuttumuck the mostly choosen route is
Kuttumuck Villadam Road (R2).
In this study, route choice model with fuzzy logic is
provided. It is found from the study that the human
psychology in making daily route choice decision can be
represented more efficiently by using the linguistic
variable.The results obtained in this study shows that the
created model could represent the reality well. It could
beconcluded that fuzzy logic based model provides precise
estimation of urban traffic alongwitha descriptionofhuman
perception.

Route choice modelling is essential in terms of transportation planning which requirespredictingfuturetrafficconditionson transportation networks and understanding travellers response and adaptation to sources of information. The main objectives of the study is to predict the route choices for the thrissur city and to determine the significant factors. These perceptions and preferencesbasedonroutecharacteristicsare then tied to travellers personal attributes such as income, age, gender, and other socio-economic characteristics. Household survey is carried out in Thrissur city for collecting travellers information. Survey is carried out in the 52 corporation ward of Thrissur City. The collected data is analysed and thehighest number of trip attraction (destination) and production (origin) zones are identified and the origins and destination is fixed. Fuzzy Logic concept is used to modeltheuncertainroute choice behaviour.From the Fuzzy Inference System, the result obtained are for Punkunnam the mostly choosen routes are Thrissur Kuttipuram Road andKodungallurShornurRoad, for Nedupuzha the mostly choosen routes are Kodungallur Shornur/SWaraj round and Kodungallur Shornur Road,for Mannuthy the mostly choosen routes are Thrissur Palakkad Road and Thrissur Mannamangalam Road, forKuttumuckthe mostly choosen route.In this study factors affecting route choice between alternate routes were identified using Surface Plots.They are Travel Cost, Distance, travel time between Origin and Destination and Type of Employment. Key Words: Predicting; Socio-economic;Fuzzy Logic; Fuzzy Inference System 1.INTRODUCTION The process of allocating given set of tripinterchangesto the specifed transportation system is usually referred to as traffic assignment. The fundamental aim of the traffic assignment process is to reproduce on the transportation system, the pattern of vehicular movements whichwould be observed when the travel demand represented by the trip matrix, or matrices, to be assigned is satisfied. The traffic assignment or route assignment problem is one of the critical steps in travel demand forecasting process. It is used to forecast traffic flow of links in a network, given the traffic volumes between the origin destination nodes and the characteristics of the links. The study of travel behaviour is a broad topic that provides insights into the choices that individuals and households make about their travel needs. Within this broadarea lie various sub-categories likestudyofmodechoice,destination choice, route choice, and so forth. The interplay of these different choice dimensions is what makes the analysis of travel behaviour so complex and yet interesting. Over the years, travel behaviour researchers have worked towards the development of increasingly sophisticated quantitative models, often used in conjunction with qualitative approaches, which could offer us powerful tools for helping us to understand those complexities. Although, understanding route choice behaviourisonlya dimensionto overall travel behaviour analysis, it does provideveryuseful insights into travellers decision making process which can eventually be tied back to broad travel behaviorassessment. Route choice prediction is also essential in terms of transportation planning which requires predicting future traffic conditions on transportation networks and understanding travellersresponseandadaptationtosources of information. It involves evaluating travellers perception of route characteristics that include travel time,cost,distance,safety, reliability and so. These perceptions and preferences based on route characteristics are then tied to travellers personal attributes such as income, age, gender, and other socio- economic characteristics. Route choice prediction or development depends on human behaviour, travellers imperfect knowledge about the transportation network composition, and the uncertainty and heterogeneity associated with travellers perceptions about route characteristics. Travellers decision to take particular routes depends on the utilities associated with these routes. In Thrissur City , the nature of transportation system as well as availability of mode, comfort of the mode, road surface conditions etc. are different. No study has been done by using Fuzzy Logic to address this issue of how people choose their route in Thrissur, more precisely in Thrissurcity.Inthisthesis efforts will be given to predict the route choices using Fuzzy Logic for one origin and one destination point in the context of Thrissur City. 2.

Typically, trip generation analysis focuses on residences, and residential trip generation is thought of as a function of the social and economic attributes of households. At the level of the traffic analysis zone, residential land uses "produce" or generate trips. Traffic analysis zones are alsodestinationsoftrips,trip attractors.The analysis of attractors focuses on nonresidential land uses. Modeling of human choice mechanism has been a topic of intense discussion in the transportation community for many years. In most choice situations, the decisionmaker (traveler) also experiences uncertainty becauseofthelack of complete information on the choices. In the traditional modeling framework, the uncertainty of the analystandthat of the decision-maker are both embedded in the same random term and not clearly separated (Mauro et.al.)[2], travellers behavioural characteristicsintheday-to-dayroute choice are considered by forgetting previous travel times, risk attitude, habit effect, travellers amount of attention on the route choice being made, perceptionofactual travel time, etc. Zhengbing [3]. Route choice behavior depends on travel cost. Travel time, traffic safety, comfort, habits and socioeconomic and demographic characteristicsofwhichtravel timeisgenerally the key factor of all. Overall approach for the route choice is to evaluate costs of each route and to choose the route with lowest travel cost(Chaun et.al.)[4]. Primary paramaters while making a choice between an originanddestination are travel time, traffic safety, cost (fuel), traffic signs, jam and queing, road type, landscape, road constructionandhabitual effects. Cost is generally proportional with travel time. Traffic safety, travel time, congestion and environmental effects were the main variables considered in the study (Yetis sazi et.al.,)[5]. The choice of a particular route is dynamic in character and depends on many factors. Infact,a driver chooses a route by considering inputs from different set of information. For example, a drivers decisiontoselecta particular route depends on the characteristics of the trips (e.g. purpose, time, origin, destination, and mode) to be made, the attributes of the alternative routes available and the characteristics of the driver (Agata et.al.,)[6] and (Eran et.al.)[7]. The questionnaire was designed to extract information regarding the particular route one userwasusingatthetime of conducting the survey and the reasons behind choosing the particular route. The reasons or variables which significantly influence the individuals route choice behavior were selected based on the literature review. Since bus routes were considered for this study, only bus users socio economic characteristics and travel attributes (both route attributes and bus attributes) were considered as the influential indicatorsforroutechoice.Thefactorsconsidered are Age, Gender, Monthly Income, Distance, Travel Cost, Travel Time, Waiting Time, Comfort level, Safety Level, Security Level and Regularity Level (Nandita Basu et.al.)[8]. 3.

Although itiseasytothink ofinteresting questions to ask people, constructing a good survey questionnaire is not easy at all. The problem is that the answers people give can be influenced in unintended ways by the wording of the items, the response option provided, and many other factors. A questionnaire was designed for a home interview survey for surveying road users. The questionnaireconsistsofthree parts. Part A consist of socioeconomic information, part B consists of personal information, part C consist of travel information on the private road users. The model of the questionnaire is shown in Appendix A. Name of the household head, type of dwelling, number of members etc are the factors included in the socio-economic information. Gender, age, income, occupation, Vehicle Ownership are the major factors in personal information. Route selected,Purpose of Trip, Frequency of trip, Mode used for Trip, Travel time, Travel cost, Traffic congestion on the selected route, road condition of the selected route habituation of route, are the factors included in the travel information part of the questionnaire form. 4.5 CONCEPT OF FUZZY LOGIC MATLAB fuzzy logic toolbox facilitates the development of fuzzy-logic systemsusinggraphical userinterface(GUI)tools command line functionality. The tool can be used for building Fuzzy Expert Systems Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems(ANFIS). There are five primary GUI tools for building, editing, and observing fuzzy inference systems in the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox :  Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Editor  Membership Function Editor  Rule Editor  Rule Viewer  Surface Viewer 5. DATA COLLECTION For this study, data is one of the major factors. Data collection was done by a home interview survey using the predefined questionnaire. 5.1 Sample Size Selection Criteria Estimation of sample size in research using Krejcie and Morgan is a commonly employed method. Sample size estimated by Krejcie and Morgan (1970) with help of the equation . Where, s = required sample size. N = population size. p = population proportion (assumed to be 0.50 since this would provide maximum sample size) e = degree of accuracy expressed as a proportion (0.05) To get data from every wards, 48 individuals (or 12 houses) will be selected in random from all the 52 wards. Hence, a total sample of 2496 individuals will be obtained as sample for the survey.After surveying, the highest number of attraction zone is identified as Thekkinkadu and the highest number of production zones are identified as Punkunnam, Kuttumuck, Nedupuzha and Mannuthy. The household survey is again conducted in these zones abouta samplesize of 200. 6. DATA ANALYSIS Stratification of the collected samples is discussed in the following sections. The collected data is entered in the Microsoft Excel and the preliminary analysis is done.Fuzzy Toolbox in MATLAB is used for the remaininganalysisandto obtain the result. 6.1 Preliminary Analysis Percentage of population grouped under different level of attributes is discussed in this section.Theattributesselected are gender, age group, monthly income, vehicle ownership, frequency of trip, Mode used etc.

A fuzzy rule base consists of a number of If-Then rules. Intersection Rule Configuration (IRC) method was adopted for rule generation. In this method, every possible combination of rules are explored and are used to determine the outcome. Fuzzy inference mechanism works on the principle of simple and logical If- then rules. Total 160 numbers of IF-THEN rules are formulated here based on the logical thinking and general experience. One example of the rule is shown below: If Age is MAA AND Gender is MALE AND IncomeisLOWAND Mode is 2W AND Type of Employment is PE AND Travel Time is LOW AND Distance is LOW AND Travel Cost is LOW AND Type Of Activity isWANDCongestionisMEDIUMTHEN Route choice is R1.

CONCLUSIONS Route choice behaviour is one of main components of Transport System. In this study Fuzzy Logic Models is used to predict the route choice behaviour of a user. In this study factors affecting route choice between alternateroutes were identified using Surface Plots.They are Travel Cost,Distance, travel time between origin and destination and Type of Employment. The result shows that for Punkunnam the mostly choosen routes are Thrissur Kuttippuram Road (R1) and Kodungallur Shornur Road (R2).For Nedupuzha the mostly choosen routes are Kodungallur Shornur Road/Swaraj round (R1) and Kodungallur Shornur Road (R2). For Mannuthy the mostly choosen routes are Thrissur Palakkad Road (R1) and Thrissur Mannamangalam Road (R2) and for Kuttumuck the mostly choosen route is Kuttumuck Villadam Road (R2). In this study, route choice model with fuzzy logic is provided. It is found from the study that the human psychology in making daily route choice decision can be represented more efficiently by using the linguistic variable.The results obtained in this study shows that the created model could represent the reality well. It could beconcluded that fuzzy logic based model provides precise estimation of urban traffic alongwitha descriptionofhuman perception. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I owe a great debt of gratitude to Fr.
