Laboratory Experimental Datasets on Route-choice Games

Total 312 participants in approximately equal proportions of males and females were invited to participate the decision-making experiments for the payoffs that were contingent on their performance. The participants were randomly assigned to 17 groups and they were required to make DTD route choices with no mutual communication. The following eight DTD scenarios with the same origin-destination (OD) pair were set.
• Scenario 1 was the baseline scenario containing a symmetric two-route network.• Scenarios 2-5 extended Scenario 1 by using asymmetric two-route networks and different cost functions to investigate subject’s route choice behaviors under different cost feedback.• Scenarios 6-7 employed asymmetric networks with three routes to observe more complicated route choice behavior.          •Scenario 8 extended the configuration to non-linear cost functions and different group sizes (24 subjects per group in Scenario 8, while 16 in others), which would demonstrate the robustness of the proposed theoretical model.
