This paper develops a frequency based transit assignment model, assuming that transit arrival times are available to the passenger at the boarding stop. The model considers the estimated arrival times together with the expected travel times, when selecting a path. The assignment procedure includes the setting of decision rules for different cases of arrival times, and the calculation of probabilities for these different cases. The model is applied on a real-size network, and the results are compared to the well-known optimal strategies method. The suggested model showed significantly different results and a notable reduction in the total travel time. The results illustrate the potential impact of online information on travel behavior, and emphasize the need of its consideration in assignment models.
