Assessing Safety and Mobility Benefits of Autonomous Ride Sharing Services
项目名称: Assessing Safety and Mobility Benefits of Autonomous Ride Sharing Services
摘要: This research aims to use a multidisciplinary team, industry, and community-based perspective among experts in transportation access, policy, and technology— as well as communities of older adults who are potential end users of automated ride sharing services. The overarching objective is to identify the user perspective about automated ride sharing services (AV ride sharing services), and to solicit responses pertaining to adoption and acceptance practices thereof. The research team will invite, from older adults (50+ years of age; from five geographic areas in Florida, see Objective 1), feedback on factors that impact their successful acceptance, adoption, and user practices on autonomous ride sharing services. This is important because (1) we do not have quantifiable data to understand the older adult perspective to engaging in AV ride sharing services, (2) the industry partners may not provide the optimum design features in the automated vehicles to safely, comfortably and conveniently accommodate older adults, (3) policy makers do not have data driven information pertaining to older adults’ perceptions in various geographic areas in Florida—which may make deployment decisions for widespread use of automated ride sharing services challenging, and (4) educational materials—a critical step towards acceptance and adoption practices—are currently lacking for those 50+. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, the team will solicit older adults’ responses, before and after being exposed to AV ride sharing services and use their feedback to inform industry provider(s), policy makers, and the SMFLC with their responses
