Individual mobility by shared autonomous electric vehicle fleets: Cost and CO2 comparison with internal combustion engine vehicles in Berlin, Germany
Abstract
The current mobility paradigm is based on cheap fossil fuel energy, high CO2emissions and individual mobility. This paradigm faces economic, ecological and social limits. The aim of this paper is to analyse if a shared autonomous Electric Vehicles (EVs) fleet can meet these challenges and at the same time satisfy the current requirements of privately owned Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs). Therefore, analytical models have been developed to compute the fleet size and to simulate and investigate impacts on mobility behaviour in Berlin, Germany. The collected data were used to calculate cost effects, the energy consumption and the carbon footprint of different shared autonomous EVs in comparison with privately owned ICEVs. The approach shows that the system of a shared autonomous EV fleet could lower journey time, reduce CO2emissions, free up parking space in urban areas and generate cost benefits for customers.

The introduction of AVs is considered a chance to increase the allure of public transportation by enabling broad dissemination of shared vehicles that might support the mass rapid transit network.

Improving public transportation can persuade more people to use sustainable means of transportation instead of private vehicles, lowering traffic congestion and emissions.
“By improving public transportation, this attempts to persuade more people to utilize sustainable means of transportation instead of private vehicles, so lowering traffic congestion and emissions [43,44,67,68,72].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
