Examining Data Needs and Implementation Process of AV-based Microtransit Service: A Case Study in Lake Nona

项目名称：	Examining Data Needs and Implementation Process of AV-based Microtransit Service: A Case Study in Lake Nona
摘要：	The success of this federal funded BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) grant project (hereafter BUILD grant) will have important impacts on future autonomous vehicle (AV)-based microtransit development in the state of Florida. Therefore, it is important to document the full planning and decision-making process and collect baseline information in the Orange County area prior to implementation. This proposed research project includes: to collect and analyze baseline information for future BUILD grant evaluation; and to monitor, document and evaluate lessons learned in the implementation process of AV-based microtransit services. Though many studies have been conducted to assess the impact of AVs or AV-based microtransit, few research efforts have examined preliminary implementation challenges as well as the real-life benefits or drawbacks of an AV-based micro-transit system. This proposed research project will address some fundamental questions such as: (1) What is the full scope of work necessary to successfully implement an AV-based microtransit system? Analysis will include organizational, infrastructure, safety, technology, and financing challenges and concerns. (2) What are the impacts on mobility improvement and community livability based on a set of performance measures including but not limited to transit ridership impacts (e.g., mode shift, ridership changes, and service satisfaction), residents perceptions of safety and neighborhood livability, and impacts on transit agencies’ operation (e.g., operation management, maintenance, and budget implications)?
