“…A Level 4 and especially Level 5 AV would not need a human driver or steward, and a passenger could potentially be alone in an autonomous shuttle, which can influence perceived safety [31]. Passengers would need to trust the technology of the automated system and would have no way to speak to a human driver or steward directly.…”

“…Indeed, studies show that many people are doubtful about the reliability and safety aspects of AVs [16,30]. Autonomous shuttles of SAE Level 4 or 5 without the necessary involvement of a driver or steward can challenge perceived safety as: (1) passengers are confronted with a new technology they might be doubtful about; and (2) in usual public transport settings, people are used to having a driver as someone who can be approached for general information or can intervene in case of unexpected or unpleasant events occurring during the ride [31]. Previous research [32,33] already indicates that passengers' perceived safety in driverless shuttles is challenged due to the fact that there is no driver present (a similar finding comes from user acceptance on lack of staff on automated trains [34]).…”

This study investigates the perceived safety of passengers while being on board of a driverless shuttle without a steward present. The aim of the study is to draw conclusions on factors that influence and contribute to perceived safety of passengers in driverless shuttles. For this, four different test rides were conducted, representing aspects that might challenge passengers’ perceived safety once driverless shuttles become part of public transport: passengers had to ride the shuttle on their own (without a steward present), had to interact with another passenger, and had to react to two different unexpected technical difficulties. Passengers were then asked what had influenced their perceived safety and what would contribute to it. Results show that perceived safety of passengers was high across all different test rides. The most important factors influencing the perceived safety of passengers were the shuttle’s driving style and passengers’ trust in the technology. The driving style was increasingly less important as the passengers gained experience with the driverless shuttle. Readily available contact with someone in a control room would significantly contribute to an increase in perceived safety while riding a driverless shuttle. For researchers, as well as technicians in the field of autonomous driving, our findings could inform the design and set-up of driverless shuttles in order to increase perceived safety; for example, how to signal passengers that there is always the possibility of contact to someone in a control room. Reacting to these concerns and challenges will further help to foster acceptance of AVs in society. Future research should explore our findings in an even more natural setting, e.g., a controlled mixed traffic environment.

This elaboration deals with the expansion potential of public transport in the city of Nellmersbach. As a commuter city with an S-Bahn connection, the expansion of public transport is imperative for environmental reasons, since most of the traffic goes to the congested Stuttgart. Based on commuter flows and regional accessibility analysis, it is examined how long public transport to Stuttgart and the neighboring communities takes compared to the car. There is a quantitative cross-sectional survey that shows the numbers before and after the 15-minute increase in the frequency of the S-Bahn and puts them in context. Based on qualitative extension proposals for taxi-on-demand, there should be an assessment of P&R users from Nellmersbach, who represent a critical group for the study and who could increase their use of public transport.
