“…Two types of shared mobility services based on AVs are considered to replace individual car use providing occasionally a door-to-door but mostly a feeder service: shared minivan with 8 seats and shared minibus with 16 seats [19]. In other studies, small capacity autonomous pods are considered also as a feeder service [10], [12]. Furthermore, autonomous cars may provide last-mile service with or without seat capacity sharing [11].…”

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.

“…There is a strong correlation between individual's modal split and willingness to choose a shared service based on an AV [11]. Service attributes including travel cost, travel time and waiting time may be critical factors for the use of shared AVs [12]. The lack of personnel would be one of the most concerned issues (e.g.…”

“…Half of the studies (7 of 14) can be found in journals and the other half (7) were published in conference proceedings. Almost all of these studies (12 of 14) were from Europe [22,[24][25][26][27][28][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Only one study focused on the United States [23], and another considered both the United States and India [29].…”

“…A brief summary of the key findings pertaining to user acceptance is presented here. Most studies concluded that users (who have experienced riding on an autonomous bus) and potential users (such as those who currently ride conventional buses but have not yet ridden in a driverless bus) generally have positive attitudes toward autonomous buses [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][30][31][32]. Notably, the experience of actually riding in an autonomous bus or living in a city where autonomous buses operate generally improved user acceptance and perceptions of this new technology [28,33,34].…”

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent a new, growing segment of transportation research. While there have been prior studies and deployments of AVs worldwide, full autonomy in bus transit has gained interest among researchers and practitioners within the last decade, which presents an opportunity to synthesize early trends. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a review of the latest research on fully autonomous buses to summarize findings and identify gaps needing future research. Forty studies were reviewed in detail, and five main themes were identified, which are (1) technology deployment; (2) user acceptance; (3) safety; (4) social and economic aspects; and (5) regulations, policies, and legal issues. The results reveal that most prior studies have focused on technology development, and the area of regulation and policy would benefit from additional study. Noteworthy differences between research in Europe and the United States were also identified. In Europe, large funded projects involving real-world deployments have focused on user acceptance, security and safety, costs, and related legal issues, whereas in the United States, research has primarily concentrated on simulation modelling with limited real-world deployments. The results of this review are important for policy-makers and researchers as AV technology continues to evolve and become more widely available.

“…• Door-to-door, shared service [10] • Feeder service to high-capacity public transportation [11,12] • Combination of the previous types [13,14] Personalized, flexible, door-to-door service can be provided mostly in rarely built-up areas because of the road capacity limitations. Consequently, in densely populated and highly urbanized areas, feeder service should be provided [13,15].…”

The application of novel solutions in vehicle and information technologies and the need for sustainability result in significant change in urban mobility. Moreover, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to contribute to this alteration as well. The mobility is considered not only a single trip from A to B anymore but a comprehensive service. Shared and demand-driven services are more and more available besides traditional transportation modes. Modes are presented, evaluated, and compared, giving a realistic scenario for upcoming changes and opportunities. The development of the passenger transportation system requires an integrated approach considering user expectations. It is facilitated by the concept of Mobilityas-a-Service (MaaS), in which improvement of the quality has higher relevance than before. The impacts of the alteration are also summarized.
