Which route is better for a Neutral-risk person? There are two routes, 1 and 2. It is known that route 1 takes 60 minutes and route 2 takes 41 minutes. If there is problems in the traffic: Route 1 will increase to 70 minutes; Route 2 will increase for 90 minutes. The probability of traffic problems for: Route 1 is 0.2; Route 2 is 0.92. How can I know which route is better for a risk neutral person? Calculations: Route 1: $0.2*(70)+0.8*(60)=62$ Route 2: $0.92*(90)+0.08*(41)=86.08$ How can I obtain the required information ( which route is a better route for a neutral risk person) without having the utility function? Can anyone give me an hint? Thanks

Based on what's being described here, you have already solved the problem.

Risk-neutral people don't worry about the uncertainty involved, they just maximize expected utility. Based on your route calculations, route 1 is generally faster.
