Primes

• Self-Defeating Prediction
  • Traffic information. Real-time "fastest route" displays cause drivers to switch onto the indicated route until it is no longer fastest; routing apps now model the self-defeat and randomise recommendations.

    This sourceShows that giving travelers route information (e.g. navigation apps) makes Braess-type congestion paradoxes more likely — a 'fastest route' recommendation followed by many drivers shifts congestion onto the indicated road, the traffic self-defeat case.

    Supports that route-recommendation information destabilises route choice, with many drivers switching; it says nothing about apps modelling the self-defeat or randomising recommendations.

    “predictive information is used the more users keep switching routes from round to round”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
