Autonomous Ride-Pooling: Transforming Urban Mobility

Cities worldwide are on the brink of a transportation revolution with autonomous transport. With the latest in self-driving technology and shared rides, autonomous ride-pooling has the potential to transform urban mobility. However, if public transport authorities do not prepare for the swift launch of shared autonomous services, private service providers may introduce robotaxi services, potentially jeopardizing the comprehensive benefits that autonomous transport can bring. Modern transport modelling plays a crucial role in understanding the actual impacts of autonomous mobility services on quality of service, pricing, and ultimately on congestion, emissions, and operational costs.
