Acceptance of Autonomous Vehicles in Suburban Public Transport
Abstract
Autonomous driving seems to be one of the most promising advances regarding the future development of mobility. Besides the requirements large cities and urban areas have towards mobility, also suburban or even rural areas expect great improvements from this technology in order to sustain or even increase their attractiveness for their populations. Challenges such as restricted availability and access to public transport could be overcome with the help of autonomous vehicles. These promise to be able to provide on demand mobility services for the various interest groups which could go beyond the service of regular bus lines with predefined bus stops. But in order to become successful the new developments should meet the requirements and expectations the inhabitants of rural areas have and express. This paper focuses on these requirements through an empirical study in the town of Buechenbronn located in the suburban area of the city of Pforzheim, Germany. Expectations regarding availability, accessibility and pricing are surveyed and discussed.

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.
