“…However, only for PT users, the knowledge about automated driving has a significant negative influence on the preference for both service types. Similar results were obtained by Chee et al [74] though without accounting for the current travel mode of the participants. As explained by Pernestål et al [75], individuals that have knowledge about automated driving technology are likely to have less trust in safe driving.…”

In this paper, we study the deployment potential of automated minibuses (AmBs) on the first-mile part of public transport (PT) trips or short (sub)urban commutes by comparing “regular” (fixed route and fixed schedule) and “flexible” (door-to-door and on-demand) service types. For reaching that goal, we run a stated choice experiment in the Netherlands. The participants have assessed the referred two AmB alternatives compared to their current travel mode (car, PT, or active modes (AM) – bicycle and walking) used as the main mode for unimodal travellers or as access travel mode to transit lines for multimodal travellers. The results of a joint mixed logit model estimation based on data obtained from Dutch travellers show that there are similarities and differences in the preferences for the AmBs service type within and between the segments of travellers (car, PT, and AM) and that these are mostly in instrumental variables (cost and time) and attitudes. Current PT users prefer the flexible service to regular service based on their perception of in-vehicle travel time and waiting time, while current users of car and AM do not show a difference in preference between the two services concerning these variables. Moreover, their perception of in-vehicle travel time and waiting time is not significantly different from PT users’ perception of those variables in the regular service. This may mean that for non-PT users (car and AM), AmB’s flexibility of door-to-door transport is not seen as offering a significant advantage over what they think about public transport. When looking at the preferences of potential users explained by underlying psychological factors, we conclude that a positive attitude towards riding in AmBs is a significant factor in all three segments of travellers. Trust, usefulness, and enjoyment in using AmBs are important prerequisites for car and PT users to choose either service type. The experience with technology positively influences the preferences of current PT users for both AmB services.

“…The detailed estimation results of the model shown in Figure 9.1 can be found in Chee et al (2021). In a summary, we found that continuous adoption of first-/last-mile automated bus service does not depend solely on the users' pre-use perceptions (expectations of the service) but also on the post-use perceptions of the service (levels of satisfaction with the service).…”

“…Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data 1 for a limited time was collected in order to get a glimpse of the interaction between the automated bus and pedestrians, private cars and other road users, in the given road space. The complete analyses of each of these cases can be seen at Chee et al (2020aChee et al ( , 2020bChee et al ( , 2021.…”

“…Automated shuttles (or pods) that are now in a prototyping phase in various projects around the world (80) may be a more car-like substitute moving 8-10 people at a time. These minibuses could facilitate first-/last-mile neighborhood feeder AB services that can contribute more environmental gains than any type of AVs (81). The final trend with critical environmental implications is the gradual shift toward higher AB service frequency and the need for extra infrastructure to support this transition (82).…”

Automation carries paradigm-shifting potential for urban transport and has critical sustainability dimensions for the future of our cities. This article examines the diverse environmental and energy-related dimensions of automated mobility at the city level by reviewing an emerging and increasingly diversified volume of literature for road, rail, water, and air passenger transport. The multimodal nature of this investigation provides the opportunity for a novel contribution that adds value to the literature in four distinctive ways. It reviews from a sustainability angle the state of the art underpinning the transition to a paradigm of automated mobility, identifies current knowledge gaps highlighting the scarcity of non-technicalresearch outside the autonomous car's realm, articulates future directions for research and policy development, and proposes a conceptual model that contextualizes the automation-connectivity-electrification-sharing-multimodality nexus as the only way forward for vehicle automation to reach its pro-environmental and resource-saving potential.
