SUMMARY:National Institute for Transportation and Communities Webinar: Land Use and Transportation Policies for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Liming Wang of PSU presents on AV technology’s impacts on travel\, land use and sustainability. \nEven though there are tremendous uncertainties in the timing and evolution path of the Autonomous Vehicles (AV) technology\, it may become a likely reality within most MPOs’ long-range regional transportation plan horizon of twenty years. Yet a recent survey of the largest MPOs in the US indicates only one of them “even mentions driverless\, automated\, or autonomous vehicles in its most recent RTP”. One of the uncertainties in assessing the impacts of AV is their direction: on one hand\, self-driving cars could increase VMT by increasing roadway capacity\, lowering costs of travel; on the other\, they may reduce VMT by enabling more car-sharing\, improving access to transit\, eliminating the fixed costs of car ownership\, and reclaiming parking space. To date\, there is no suitable conceptual framework or modeling tools available to MPOs for quantitatively assessing the likely long-term effects of AV or potential policy scenarios. \nThis project studies the possible impacts on travel and land use of the emerging AV technology and focuses on advancing this innovative mobility option by making sure it serves the greater good of building sustainable and equitable communities in its adoption. It also contributes to smart cities research by examining the likely social\, economic\, and environmental outcomes of integrating AV in our cities and by starting to consider policies and plans to preempt their potential adverse impacts and to ensure that the AV technology improves access for all people.
