Assessment of Autonomous Vehicle Sharing for Evacuation and Disaster Relief

项目名称：	Assessment of Autonomous Vehicle Sharing for Evacuation and Disaster Relief
摘要：	Description: This project will explore how privately owned AVs may be used in pre-impact assisted evacuation and post-impact relief distribution in times of disaster. It will begin by investigating whether the public in South Carolina would be willing to share their future AV�s to assist with evacuation, as well as post-impact relief distribution in cases where trucks may be unable to travel to particular destinations due to infrastructure damage and height or weight limits which would be a concern for larger vehicles. The research team will identify and explore the public�s concerns about such a program, as well as other potential barriers and limits to sharing. This initial exploration will help determine the feasibility of AV sharing in times of crisis. Intellectual Merit: The overall goal of this project is to help prepare transportation and emergency management agencies for the future when AVs are more prevalent. It will be the first to gauge public opinion about this novel strategy for disaster management. Broader Impacts: A system of sharing AVs in times of crisis would reduce the government�s cost of assisted evacuation, save lives, and improve humanitarian relief distribution, all by engaging citizens to actively help their �neighbors.� Technology Transfer Plan: The project findings will be disseminated through a webinar for practitioners, the research community, and the public.
