Autonomous Urban Mobility: Understanding Adoption Parameters, Perceptions, Perspectives - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book delves into the complex landscape of autonomous urban mobility, analysing the factors that influence public adoption, stakeholder perspectives, and societal perceptions in this rapidly evolving field. Aimed at scholars, policymakers, urban planners, and industry professionals, this book offers a thorough exploration of the key elements driving the integration of autonomous vehicles in urban settings. Drawing on empirical evidence from diverse case studies, it first investigates public awareness, emphasising the roles of knowledge, exposure, and media in shaping perceptions of autonomous vehicles, and underscores the critical need for targeted awareness campaigns. Subsequent chapters examine pre-trial attitudes towards autonomous shuttles, demonstrating how initial experiences significantly impact adoption willingness, and advocate for pilot programs to cultivate informed, positive perceptions.

This book also explores the potential of smart mobility solutions to bridge first/last mile gaps, presenting data on how autonomous vehicles can improve urban transport efficiency and accessibility. By analysing socio-demographic predictors, it highlights varying perceptions of the benefits and challenges of autonomous demand-responsive transit, underscoring the importance of tailored strategies for diverse urban populations. Stakeholder perspectives, gathered through interviews and case studies, offer practical recommendations for overcoming technological, regulatory, and societal hurdles. Comparative insights from international case studies broaden the understanding of local factors influencing autonomous vehicle acceptance, while advanced modelling techniques identify the key drivers of driverless car adoption. Finally, this book explores the transformative potential of autonomous vehicles in developing countries, offering visionary insights into their capacity to reshape urban landscapes.

With its data-rich content and forward-thinking analysis, this book is an indispensable guide to the future of urban transportation and the critical role of autonomous mobility.

This volume, alongside its companion—Autonomous Urban Mobility: Understanding Innovation Principles, Priorities, Policies—offers a holistic view of autonomous urban mobility. Together, these books provide a comprehensive exploration of the rapidly evolving landscape of autonomous urban mobility, the principles guiding its innovation, the wide-ranging impacts of its adoption on society, policy, and urban environments, and the transformative potential of autonomous vehicles in the future of urban transportation.
