Abstract: The authors present an examination of the relationship between cognitive maps and travel behavior in urban environments. They discuss transportation-related issues such as the cognition of transportation networks, path selection, wayfinding and navigation. They examine problems of selecting paths to destinations through the use of existing transportation networks. The authors discuss concerns relating to the role of trip purpose in path selection, looking at how different purposes spawn different path or route selection strategies. The authors conclude with a look at how cognitive maps, cognitive mapping, and travel choice modeling interact.
