Stated Preferences on Shared Automated Vehicles in the Context of Mode Choice Model Estimation for Different Trip Purposes: A Case Study for Flanders, Belgium

Vehicle automation and shared and on-demand mobility are recognized as a technology and concept that, combined, can bring significant opportunities for our mobility system. However, when deployed improperly, they could entail risks as well. Regulation will be necessary to steer the deployment of this technology into a sustainable direction. Therefore, it is necessary to gain knowledge of potential user-profiles and insights into mode choice behavior that could guide policy making. This study examines the value that travelers place on various aspects of a shared automated service, as well as the ways that shared automated vehicle services might replace the conventional modes of transportation such as private vehicles, public transportation, and bicycles. For this purpose, an online stated preference survey was conducted in Flanders, Belgium. To this end, the authors collected a sample of 652 completed questionnaires. The results show that although SAV is defined as a station-based service in this paper, it exhibits the best substitutional pattern with the car compared to the other modes. Moreover, the authors concluded its value of travel time is the highest among all modes after private car, and it changes across different trip purposes.
