The transportation sector will experience a significant shift with the advent of automated vehicles. As the new technology emerges, shared automated mobility is a potentialopportunity to improve equity, access, and sustainability at potentially lower costs. Automated vehicles and shuttles are agile for dynamic routing and can make use of the existing transportation infrastructure, but operating costs, environmental impacts, and social outcomes remain uncertain.
This dissertation advances the understanding of shared automated mobility when integrated with public transportation and when replacing regional air travel.
