mobility (shared)

This policy brief summarizes findings from research to develop a framework for considering the monetary and non-monetary costs of future travel choices.

This study investigates the disruptive changes brought to transportation by emerging technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic through the analysis of repeated cross-sectional datasets that were collected with multiple survey waves administered in various regions of the United States and Canada.

The proliferation of digital devices and online services over the past decades has changed how people travel, enabling new mobility options and offering greater opportunities for e-commerce and telework. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers modified their plan to understand new trends, such as increased remote work, online/virtual meetings, and e-shopping, as well as changes in travel.

This policy brief outlines the mechanisms by which automated vehicles may affect the environment through influencing travel demand, as well as the magnitude of these effects on vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

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.
