Identifying Impacts of Integration of Autonomous Vehicles into On-Demand Transportation
Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2024
ABSTRACT
Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are the result of the convergence of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and on-demand transportation. They are expected to significantly impact the mobility landscape; however, they must be thoroughly assessed prior to their widespread deployment. This study examines the repercussions of widespread use of SAVs and analyzes how it will affect the environment, public transportation, land use, and vehicle ownership. The impacts were identified and categorized in accordance with their causes, and the frequency with which they were cited in the literature was established for each. The findings demonstrate that a variety of factors influence the effects of SAVs, and while they have the potential to reduce barriers to mobility and transportation inequity, there is a need for policymakers to enact policies that will ensure that the technology facilitates improvements to the transportation system.
