Framework for planning the mobility service based on autonomous vehicles

Abstract

Abstract-Autonomous vehicles (AVs) facilitate alteration in the passenger transportation. Shared, demand-driven mobility services based on small-capacity AVs emerge in urban areas. In order to provide highly personalized services and to enhance the acceptance of AVs, the user expectations are to be revealed. The research question is what kind of information is needed to plan various service types with the consideration of user expectations and operational constraints. Accordingly, the planning functions, as well as their input and output data have been identified. Then, the connections between the functions have been explored. In order to provide input data for planning functions, we have elaborated a data collection method applying a questionnaire survey with stated preferences. Based on the survey data correlations could be revealed between socio-demographic characteristics or mobility habits and expected mobility service attributes. The results can be used as a framework for planning mobility services based on AVs.

Perceptions of the Impact of High-Level-Machine-Intelligence from University Students in Taiwan: The Case for Human Professions, Autonomous Vehicles, and Smart Homes

“…Similar results were also documented in a report on "The Challenge and Impact of Autonomous Vehicle Development in Taiwan: Socioeconomic Impact" [15], which indicated that the benefits were: reduced traffic congestion, enhanced mobility for the elderly and disabled, environmental friendliness, and lowered fuel consumption, while the potential risks included lack of legal regulation, technical safety, privacy, and data misuse. Lastly, several studies have found age to be associated with the intention for adoption of autonomous vehicles, with younger people expressing higher interest [16,17].…”

“…The other two areas selected are the relatively well-researched domains of AI application, autonomous vehicles, and smart homes. As two of the most rapidly developed domains of HLMI application, the benefits and concerns of the autonomous vehicle and smart home as perceived by the public have been explored in some studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], but opinions of the benefits and concerns have seldom been discussed together and empirically examined. A secondary purpose of this present study, then, is to find out how positive benefits and potential concerns and risks play roles upon people's perception about autonomous vehicles and smart homes.…”

Reshaped Urban Mobility

“…However, individual car use decreases by the introduction of a flexible shared AV service because similar service quality can be provided as by an individual car. Current car users' willingness to shift is the highest, as bikers' and pedestrians' willingness to shift are the lowest according to our previous study [29]. The number of cars decreases as less vehicle is enough to meet the needs.…”

“…In our previous studies [22,23], we performed a questionnaire survey to reveal user expectations. The main findings were:…”

Are People Ready to Entrust Their Safety to an Autonomous Ambulance as an Alternative and More Sustainable Transportation Mode?

“…It is mentioned in several previous investigations that the level of automation trustworthiness influences the frequency of its introduction. [15][16][17][18][19]. Trust in terms of the psychological aspect means that the human or object acts as it was assumed [20][21][22].…”
