Automated Vehicles
Changes in expert opinions over time
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. Expe

Policy and society related implications of automated driving
A review of literature and directions for future research
In this paper, the potential effects of automated driving that are relevant to policy and society are explored, findings discussed in literature about those effects are reviewed and areas for future research are identified. The structure of our review is based on the ripple effec

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

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

Questioning mobility as a service
Unanticipated implications for society and governance
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

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

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

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

Accessibility instruments in planning practice
Bridging the implementation gap
Accessibility concepts are increasingly acknowledged as fundamental to understand cities and urban regions. Accordingly, accessibility instruments have been recognised as valuable support tools for land-use and transport planning. However, despite the relatively large number of i

Co-designing for active, healthy ageing
The synergies of social and built environment
Aims
Despite the fact that the WHO stresses the role of the built environment as key determinant for an autonomous life in wellbeing, architecture and health still are not connected in architectural and medical education and as a result in architectural and medical practice. This

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

Should governments plan locally or regionally to reduce vehicle use?
Evidence from the EU and US contexts (PPT)
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 fr

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, socia

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

Automated Driving: Driving Urban Development?
An integrated modelling and research-by-design approach on the spatial impacts of automated driving
Automated driving is propagated to make travel more efficient and to enhance urban spaces. This research invests both these aspects integrally from the perspective of the residential location choice, to find the impacts of automated driving on urban development.
This thesis is th

Traditional urban public transit may be on the verge of disruption with the global rise of new mobility services, such as on-demand ride-sharing, car-sharing and MaaS. Tram assets were found to be most vulnerable for disruption as the tram lacks the speed advantage of the metro a
