Automation and urban transport planning: Policy recommendations and best practices
Open accessAbstract
Although Automation is expected to play a crucial role in the future development of transport, currently it lacks strong relations with urban mobility planning.Most types of plans such as SUMPs do not include operative references to Automation, overlooking strategic guidelines or useful measures to integrate this theme into the future vision of mobility.Such a lack represents a missed opportunity, since Automation could stimulate a more collective-oriented mobility paradigm and reduce most of the negative externalities generated by transport.The aim of this contribution is to highlight the importance for transport planning to start dealing with this process in a more rigorous way.For this purpose, the potential effects that Automation may have on transport and land use are summarized in three main types of scenarios.Then, a series of goals are identified, policy recommendations are provided, and exemplificative best practices as well as virtuous urban mobility plans are described.

Management measures are likely needed to manage future challenges brought by automation and prevent a modal shift from PT to shared AVs in urban areas at risk of congestion.
“These measures are likely to be needed to manage future challenges brought by automation and prevent a modal shift of users from PT to shared AVs in the urban areas at risk of congestion [42].”

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.
