TLDR
The expected positive impacts derive from the development of car sharing, the reduction of space required for parking vehicles, the possibilities for older people or those with disabilities to use cars, the enhancement of safety, and the improvement of efficiency of the transport system.Abstract:
The project CityMobil2 has carried out a forward-looking exercise to investigate alternative cybermobility scenarios, including both niche and large-market innovations, and their impacts on European cities and their transport systems. The paper describes the current status of and main trends in automated vehicles, a preliminary vision of the future city with mobility supported mainly by automated vehicles, and freight distribution. The expected positive impacts derive from the development of car sharing, the reduction of space required for parking vehicles, the possibilities for older people or those with disabilities to use cars, the enhancement of safety, and the improvement of efficiency of the transport system.read more

Impacts of automated vehicles on travel behaviour and land use: an international review of modelling studies
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of modelling studies investigating the impacts of AVs on travel behaviour and land use shows that AVs are mostly found to increase vehicle miles travelled and reduce public transport and slow modes share.

What influences the decision to use automated public transport? Using UTAUT to understand public acceptance of automated road transport systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an adapted version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to investigate the factors that influence users' acceptance of automated road transport systems (ARTS).

Eco approaching at an isolated signalized intersection under partially connected and automated vehicles environment
TL;DR: In this article, an eco-driving system for an isolated signalized intersection under partially connected and automated vehicles (CAV) environment is proposed, which prioritizes mobility before improving fuel efficiency and optimizes the entire traffic flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transportation in a 100% renewable energy system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of technologies and systems that are being proposed or proven as alternative to fossil-fuel based transportation, and their prospects for their entry into the post-carbon era, from both technological and energetic viewpoints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Car-sharing services: An annotated review
TL;DR: A taxonomy of the different aspects of car-sharing is introduced and the unbalancing between the literature related to the operational level and the economic, business development and customer validation aspects is shown.

Preparing a nation for autonomous vehicles: opportunities, barriers and policy recommendations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a nationally recognized licensing framework for AVs, determining appropriate standards for liability, security, and data privacy, which can be used to improve vehicle safety, congestion, and travel behavior.
Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area: Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system
TL;DR: The EESC agreed that the 2050 vision goal of a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of 60 % in the transport sector, although very challenging, is in line with the EU's overall climate policy aims and that it strikes a reasonable balance between the need for quick reductions of greenhouse gases and the time needed to optimise energy efficiency in a single European Transport Area and develop new and sustainable fuels and propulsion systems in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels as mentioned in this paper.
Preparing a Nation for Autonomous Vehicles: Opportunities, Barriers and Policy Recommendations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a nationally recognized licensing framework for AVs, determining appropriate standards for liability, security, and data privacy for personal travel in the United States, which is based on the work of the authors of this paper.
Autonomous Vehicle Implementation Predictions: Implications for Transport Planning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the impacts that autonomous vehicles are likely to have on travel demands and transportation planning and explore how they will affect planning decisions such as optimal road, parking and public transit supply.

Real-World Carbon Dioxide Impacts of Traffic Congestion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined traffic congestion and its impact on CO2 emissions by using detailed energy and emission models, and they were linked to real-world driving patterns and traffic conditions.
