“…Literature has shown a clear positive association between morbidity outcomes, premature mortality rates, stress, and traffic congestion (see Hennessy & Wiesenthal, 1997;Levy, Buonocore, & von Stackelberg, 2010;Miedema, 2007). Furthermore, the enhancement of road capacity, along with the reduction of on-street parking demand, might allow conversion of redundant road space into bicycle and pedestrian infrastructures.…”

KEYWORDSautomated driving; first, second, and third order impacts; policy and societal implications; ripple effect ABSTRACTIn this paper, the potential effects of automated driving that are relevant to policy and society are explored, findings discussed in literature about those effects are reviewed and areas for future research are identified. The structure of our review is based on the ripple effect concept, which represents the implications of automated vehicles at three different stages: first-order (traffic, travel cost, and travel choices), second-order (vehicle ownership and sharing, location choices and land use, and transport infrastructure), and third-order (energy consumption, air pollution, safety, social equity, economy, and public health). Our review shows that first-order impacts on road capacity, fuel efficiency, emissions, and accidents risk are expected to be beneficial. The magnitude of these benefits will likely increase with the level of automation and cooperation and with the penetration rate of these systems. The synergistic effects between vehicle automation, sharing, and electrification can multiply these benefits. However, studies confirm that automated vehicles can induce additional travel demand because of more and longer vehicle trips. Potential land use changes have not been included in these estimations about excessive travel demand. Other third-order benefits on safety, economy, public health and social equity still remain unclear. Therefore, the balance between the short-term benefits and long-term impacts of vehicle automation remains an open question.

“…Repeated exposure to daily hassles, even under perceptibly low levels, has been linked with minor physical illness [Kohn and Macdonald, 1992b]. Research has recently turned to automobile driving as a salient source of everyday stress [see Gulian et al, 1990;Hennessy and Wiesenthal, 1997;Novaco et al, 1990]. The number of private automobiles used on a daily basis has been steadily multiplying, with little increase in the number of public roads and highways [Taylor, 1997].…”

“…Furthermore, commuting has been shown to be associated with increased heart rate and blood pressure (Novaco et al, 1979;Schaeffer et al, 1988). Further, commuting translates into shorter sleeping times and sleep disorders (Costa et al, 1988;Walsleben et al, 1999;Hansson et al, 2011), a lower social capital and participation (Mattisson et al, 2015), which has in turn been associated with health outcomes (Putnam, 2000;Lindström, 2004;Besser et al, 2008), negative mood (Gulian et al, 1989), emotional arousal (Hennessy and Wiesenthal, 1997), lower well-being and life satisfaction (Stutzer and Frey, 2008;Roberts et al, 2011;Olsson et al, 2013) as well as higher levels of workplace aggression (Hennessy, 2008), poor concentration levels (Matthews et al, 1991) and a higher risk of mortality (Sandow et al, 2014).…”
