“…In line with earlier research devoted to the public perception of other emerging transportation technologies (Egbue and Long, 2012;Carley et al, 2013;Schoettle and Sivak, 2014;Kyriakidis et al, 2015;Shin et al, 2015;Bansal et al, 2016;Harper et al, 2016;Nayum et al, 2016;Daziano et al, 2017;Dias et al, 2017;Dong et al, 2017;Vinayak et al, 2018;Van Brummelen et al, 2018;Alemi et al, 2018;Langbroek et al, 2018;Westin et al, 2018), the current paper aims at providing an empirical assessment of public perception towards benefits and concerns arising from the use of flying cars. To that end, an online survey was developed and disseminated to 692 individuals, who provided their attitudinal perspectives towards the implications of flying cars use, along with extensive information about their sociodemographic and behavioral background.…”

The imminent introduction of flying cars in the traffic fleet is anticipated to modify the mobility patterns of urban commuters. Flying cars' hybrid operation on the ground and in the air, in conjunction with their (semi-) automated capabilities, may lead to more appealing trip considerations, such as travel time, fuel consumption, or environmental emissions, as well as to the emergence of new sources of concerns for the potential users. In this context, the future adoption of flying cars is directly associated with individuals' perceptions of the benefits and concerns arising from the use of flying cars. This paper aims to identify the perceptual patterns of individuals towards travel time, cost and environmental benefits, as well as towards challenges arising from key flying cars operational characteristics. To that end, grouped random parameters bivariate probit models of individuals' perceptions are estimated using data collected from an online survey of 692 individuals. The statistical analysis shows that a number of sociodemographic, behavioral, and attitudinal characteristics affect respondents' expectations and concerns towards the adoption and implementation of flying cars. Even though individuals' perceptions are anticipated to undergo substantial changes until the introduction of flying cars in the traffic fleet, the findings of this work may shed more light on perceptual nuances with critical effect on public interest about the adoption of flying cars.

“…Some plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) drivers even attempted to recharge their vehicles not by plugging in at home or at work, but by running the internal combustion engine and then using the re-generative braking system to "charge" their vehicle-"thereby negating the carbon savings" [19]. Similar EV rebound effects have been found in Austria [40] and Sweden [41]. Modelling of EV driving behaviour in South Korea further underscores this paradox [42]: EVs are more technically efficient than conventional cars, meaning they have great carbon abatement potential, but if/when adopters increase their annual mileage, overall emissions for transport can actually increase.…”

Over the last decade or more, the automobility literature has sought to observe and affect the dynamic tenacity of passenger vehicles. This paper takes up a recent call to actually study how private electric vehicles (EVs) are changing automobility. For this, it identifies four qualitative categories of automobility: general vehicle use, the car in daily life, vehicle symbolism and the effects of electrification. We study how these categories are affected by electric vehicles based on original data we gathered during a large empirical research project in the five Nordic countries, consisting of 227 expert interviews, 8 focus groups and 4,322 randomized survey respondents. We find a paradoxical relationship between EVs and automobility. Some aspects embed and strengthen carbased mobility and the current automobility regime, as EVs essentially offer a substitution technology. In other contexts, however, EVs challenge, threaten, and open up questions about automobility and germinate an awareness that it cannot continue as is. We conclude by arguing that the moment transport policy acknowledges this dualism and smartly links up to other developments in transport, like automation and connectivity, policy efforts can be designed to minimize drawbacks and emphasize strengths.

“…It should be emphasized that regardless of the energy merits of V2G services, it should be kept in mind that, as a priority, EV users will want to use them for their purposes. Therefore, several papers can be found in the literature on the analysis of travel patterns of EV users [39][40][41]. The literature also addresses the issue of how EV users' travel patterns affect charging profiles [42].…”

One of the key aspects of vehicle-to-grid technology (V2G) is the analysis of uncertainty in electric vehicle user behavior. Correct estimation of the amount of available energy from electric vehicles that are expected to provide ancillary services to the electricity system operator or to secure the end user’s demand is essential to design these services in an appropriate way. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the probabilities of V2G service performance for different scenarios. This paper presents the author’s approach to determining the values of V2G service provision probabilities using survey data. It was found that estimating these values using simulation and forecasting tools makes sense when the coefficients resulting from survey responses are used as initial data. Thus, the paper also presents the results of the surveys that were conducted. As the results from the simulations show, the values of the probabilities of V2G services are not high, which should induce future operators of V2G services to offer a beneficial product for the customer.
