attitudes

This policy brief summarizes a series of recurring surveys that measure consumers' awareness and attitudes toward electric vehicles.

In this study, the researchers used a sample of California new electric vehicle buyers to understand if and how current adopters of new vehicle technologies will adopt automated vehicles.

Researchers at the UC Davis surveyed households and bike-share users in the Sacramento region and used both behavioral modeling and market segmentation approaches to identify opportunities for increasing demand while improving access for low-income groups.

This white paper focuses on (actual and potential) users of systems of electrically-powered, shared, and automated vehicles (e-SAVs) as well as other road-users, e.g., pedestrians and cyclists. The role of user perceptions of safety and security are reviewed to create an initial framework to evaluate how they may affect who will initially use systems of e-SAVs for personal mobility and how safety and security will have to be addressed to foster sustained transitions.

This policy brief summarizes the findings from and policy implications of work to understand potential users’ perceptions of safety and security risks posed by intertwined social and technical systems of e-SAVs and proposed a framework to advance research, policy, and system design.

This dissertation contains analyses on data from a dual-wave survey deployed between 2016 and 2018 in communities in the Southern United States regarding bicycle infrastructure.
