Shared low-speed autonomous vehicles for short-distance trips: agent-based modeling with mode choice analysis
Previous research has envisioned behavior changes with the availability of shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) services. It is expected that SAVs will compete with conventional human-driven vehicles and lead to a shift in mode share. If designed as single-occupancy, low-speed, and lightweight, SAVs can also be considered a micro-mobility mode targeting short-distance trips in geofencing areas, which has been lacking in discussion in the state-of-the-art literature. To address this gap, this study envisions changes in mode choice with the implementation of a single-occupancy Shared Low-speed Light-weight Autonomous Mobility (SLLAM) system deployed, serving trips at speeds below 25 mph. Agent-based simulations are conducted to evaluate the mode share of the SLLAM system. The findings demonstrate that the SLLAM system has the potential to serve 36.98% of the trip demand in the study area. Increased operating speeds enhance the SLLAM mode share, making it a more attractive option for existing private vehicle trips.
