Exploring individual perceptions of autonomous transit: A stated choice modelling approach LIMITED
Monday May 26, 2025 10:50am - 11:10am EDT
Desmarais 3105
Autonomous Transit Services (ATS) offer transformative solutions to urban mobility challenges by enabling precise operations with reliably scheduled arrival/departure times, dynamic route optimization avoiding congestion, advanced collision avoidance systems and continuous 24/7 operations without driver-related risks fostering a sustainable transportation system. Despite these benefits, research on individuals' perceptions of ATS remains limited due to minimal public exposure, high costs of pilot projects, and the interdisciplinary complexity required for comprehensive studies. To explore futuristic travel choices particularly emerging modes like ATS, a stated preference (SP) survey was conducted. Additionally, revealed preference (RP) data, reflecting individuals' current mode choices were also collected, as existing choices significantly influence preferences for futuristic modes. Integrating RP data with SP analysis enables the development of robust models, improving the predictive accuracy of future travel behaviour. The study investigates perceptions of ATS along the Okanagan Rail Trail, a multi-modal pathway connecting major regional hubs. Using random sampling method, 1,500 responses were gathered from Kelowna and Lake Country residents. A mixed logit model examined the influence of socio-demographics, mobility tools, land-use patterns and individual attitudes on mode choice. The findings aim to provide actionable insights for urban-planners and policymakers to promote ATS adoption and advance sustainable urban mobility.
