“…Yet, the 13-factor-model in this case provided a better understanding of the research phenomenon by showing which factors are less influential in predicting the intention to use technology. It can also be argued that in previous AVA studies (Böhm et al 2017;Madigan et al 2016;Madigan et al 2017), instrumental domain-specific and symbolic-affective factors explained between 19.6% and 58.6% of the variance in individuals' behavioral intentions to use AVs. This implies that a substantial amount of variance has not been captured so far, which again justifies the development of MAVA that contains additional predictors of AVA.…”

Automated vehicle acceptance (AVA) is a necessary condition for the realisation of higher-level objectives such as improvements in road safety, reductions in traffic congestion and environmental pollution. On the basis of a systematic literature review of 124 empirical studies, the present study proposes MAVA, a multi-level model to predict AVA. It incorporates a process-oriented view on AVA, considering acceptance as the result of a four-stage decision-making process that ranges from the exposure of the individual to automated vehicles (AVs) in Stage 1, the formation of favourable or unfavourable attitudes towards AVs in Stage 2, making the decision to adopt or reject AVs in Stage 3, to the implementation of AVs into practice in Stage 4. MAVA incorporates 28 acceptance factors that represent seven main acceptance classes. The acceptance factors are located at two levels, i.e., micro and meso. Factors at the micro-level constitute individual difference factors (i.e., sociodemographics, personality and travel behaviour). The meso-level captures the exposure of individuals to AVs, instrumental domain-specific, symbolic-affective and moral-normative factors of AVA. The literature review revealed that 6% of the studies investigated the exposure of individuals to AVs (i.e., knowledge and experience). 22% of the studies investigated domain-specific factors (i.e., performance and effort expectancy, safety, facilitating conditions, and service and vehicle characteristics), 4% symbolic-affective factors (i.e., hedonic motivation and social influence), and 12% moral-normative factors (i.e., perceived benefits and risks). Factors related to a person's socio-demographic profile, travel behaviour and personality were investigated by 28%, 15% and 14% of the studies, respectively. We recommend that future studies empirically verify MAVA using longitudinal or experimental studies.

“…Recently, the number of studies on autonomous vehicles has exploded. The majority of these studies has focused on the general acceptance of autonomous vehicles, the willingness to purchase a private AV and/or the use of AVs (e.g., Bansal et al, 2016;Böhm et al, 2017;Fraedrich and Lenz, 2014;Gkartzonikas and Gkritza, 2019;Kyriakidis et al, 2015;Howard and Dai, 2013;Jardim et al, 2013;Schoettle and Sivak, 2014;Shabanpour et al, 2019). Research found that although various psychological barriers such as doubts about safety, security or technological benefits exist, still people are willing to use AVs assuming these barriers can be overcome in the future.…”

“…Potential advantages of AVs (generally as well as taxis specifically) include the potential to reduce road accidents and produce a safer and more efficient and effective transport system [52,53]. Another economic and environmental based argument for AVs is that fuel consumption is claimed to be decreased due to more efficient driving [36,52,54].…”

The Concept of Fairness in Relation to Women Transport Users

This paper discusses the concept of ‘fairness’ in transport, specifically regarding women using public transport, future autonomous vehicle taxis or bicycle sharing. Women generally have varying and complex mobility patterns compared to men and suffer disproportionate fairness issues when using transport. Different concepts of fairness are explored, including: equality of opportunity, equity and justice (including procedural, social and distributional justice). While each of these concepts has different implications for women using transport, it is also recognized that fairness principles should apply to all people (regardless of sex, gender or other characteristics). Analysis of the different forms of mobility, as represented by public transport, autonomous vehicles and bicycle sharing, illustrate a variety of specific fairness issues. Factors such as safety and security, cost, physical design of infrastructure and vehicles, and characteristics such as low-income or childcare responsibilities arise in each case. The three cases also indicate a range of both horizonal fairness factors (similar people being treated similarly) and vertical fairness factors (such as more disadvantaged people receiving greater support). Further research is required into setting frameworks for a more comprehensive inclusion of, and balance between, different concepts of fairness and their interactions in both transport policy and practice.
