Automated Vehicles: Changes in expert opinions over time

Kroesen, M. (author), Milakis, D. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)

Innovations in transportation can contribute to reaching relevant societal objectives (e.g. reduce emissions, congestion levels and/or risks). To determine which innovations to stimulate (and which not) it is important for policy makers to assess their effects on beforehand. Expert judgement is an often-used method for this purpose. Although...

Governance cultures and sociotechnical imaginaries of self-driving vehicle technology: Comparative analysis of Finland, UK and Germany

Mladenović, Miloš N. (author), Stead, D. (author), Milakis, Dimitris (author), Pangbourne, Kate (author), Givoni, Moshe (author)

As an emerging technology, the potential deployment of self-driving vehicles (SDVs) in cities is attributed with significant uncertainties and anticipated consequences requiring responsible governance of innovation processes. Despite a growing number of studies on policies and governance arrangements for managing the introduction of SDVs,...

Questioning mobility as a service: Unanticipated implications for society and governance

Pangbourne, Kate (author), Mladenović, M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Milakis, D. (author)

In this paper we focus on the development of a new service model for accessing transport, namely Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and present one of the first critical analyses of the rhetoric surrounding the concept. One central assumption of one prevalent MaaS conceptualization is that transport services are bundled into service packages for...

Analysis and modelling of performances of the HL (Hyperloop) transport system

van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Milakis, D. (author), Janic, M. (author), Konings, J.W. (author)

Introduction: Hyperloop (HL) is presented as an efficient alternative of HSR (High Speed Rail) and APT (Air Passenger Transport) systems for long-distance passenger transport. This paper explores the performances of HL and compares these performances to HSR and APT. Methods: The following performances of the HL system are analytically modeled...

Is Hyperloop helpful in relieving the environmental burden of long-distance travel?: An explorative analysis for Europe

van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Janic, M. (author), Milakis, D. (author)

Long-distance travelling accounts for a significant and increasing part of the mileage of person travel and the respective environmental impacts (Van Goeverden et al, 2016). Energy consumption and emissions connected with long-distance travelling might be substantially reduced through use of evacuated tubes of low air resistance, such as the...

Implications of automated vehicles for accessibility and location choices: Evidence from an expert-based experiment

Milakis, D. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)

In this paper, possible accessibility impacts of fully automated vehicles (AVs) are explored. A conceptual framework for those impacts is developed based on the model of four accessibility components (i.e. land use, transport, temporal and individual) of Geurs and van Wee (2004). Q-method is applied among a sample of seventeen international...

Towards a quantitative method to analyze the long-term innovation diffusion of automated vehicles technology using system dynamics

Nieuwenhuijsen, J.A.H. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Milakis, D. (author), van Arem, B. (author), van Daalen, C. (author)

This paper presents a novel simulation model that shows the dynamic and complex nature of the innovation system of vehicle automation in a quantitative way. The model simulates the innovation diffusion of automated vehicles (AVs) on the long-term. It looks at the system of AVs from a functional perspective and therefore categorizes this...

“For me it is always like half an hour”: Exploring the acceptable travel time concept in the US and European contexts

Milakis, D. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)

Milakis et al. (2015b) explored the acceptable travel time concept as a possible factor in the travel and destination decision-making process. These researchers employed both theory and methods triangulation to assess the validity of this concept. Results from interviews with 20 subjects in Berkeley, CA supported the acceptable travel time...

The case of Mobility as a Service: A critical reflection on challenges for urban transport and mobility governance

Pangbourne, Kate (author), Stead, D. (author), Mladenović, M. (author), Milakis, D. (author)

This chapter provides a reflective critique of Mobility as a Service (MaaS), an emerging development seeking a role within the Smart Mobility paradigm. We assess a range of its future implications for urban policymakers in terms of governance and sustainability (i.e., social and environmental impacts). We begin by describing the origins of the...

Built environment, travel attitudes and travel behaviour: Quasi-Longitudinal analysis of links in the case of Greeks relocating from US to Greece

Milakis, D. (author), Efthymiou, Dimitrios (author), Antoniou, Constantinos (author)

In this study, the possible causal links between the built environment, travel attitudes and travel behaviour of people that have moved between totally different urban and transportation contexts were investigated. A quasi-longitudinal design was developed to collect data about the perceived neighbourhood characteristics, neighbourhood...

Performances of the HL (Hyperloop) transport system

van Goeverden, C.D. (author), Milakis, D. (author), Janic, M. (author), Konings, J.W. (author)

This paper deals with an analysis of performances of the HL (Hyperloop) transport system considered as an advanced transport alternative to the existing APT (Air Passenger Transport) and HSR (High Speed Rail) systems. The considered performances are operational, financial, social and environmental. The operational performance include capacity...

Development and transport implications of automated vehicles in the Netherlands: Scenarios for 2030 and 2050

Milakis, D. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)

Automated driving technology is emerging. Yet, little is known in the literature about when automated vehicles will reach the market, how penetration rates will evolve and to what extent this new transport technology will affect transport demand and planning. This study uses scenario analysis to identify plausible future development paths of...

“Do people consider an acceptable travel time?” We raised this question in Milakis, Cervero, and van Wee (2015) to explore the validity of the acceptable travel time concept as a possible factor in the travel and destination decision-making process. Results from interviews with 20 subjects in Berkeley, CA supported this concept. In this paper we...

Policy and society related implications of automated driving: A review of literature and directions for future research

Milakis, D. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Van Wee, G.P. (author)

Automated driving has been receiving enormous attention by industry, government and academia. Although high expectations rest on this evolving transportation technology, little is known about its impacts. Most papers published so far have explored technological aspects of vehicle automation and impacts on driver and traffic flow characteristics....
