The potential of automated minibuses in the socio-technical transformation of the transport system

Presentation by Dorien Korbee

AVENUE deploys, validates and integrates autonomous vehicles (mini-busses) in public transportation services, demonstrating that autonomous vehicles will be a key element of the solution for safe, rapid, economic, ecological and personalised public transport of passengers in the future.

Korbee shares the findings, interests and insights on the use of automated minibuses as first- and last-mile option in transit, focusing on:

Behavioural aspects:

- What do we know from choice experiments, focus groups and surveys?
- Which are the predictors for intention to use automated minibuses in transit?
Integration stategies:

- What can we learn from pilots?
- What are the differences between pilots and fully-fledge systems?
- Why do pilots do not turn into operative systems?
