Automated vehicles and the city of tomorrow: A backcasting approach

Abstract: The introduction of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) into cities may fundamentally transform the design and use of cities. On one hand, AVs offer the potential to reduce the urban space requirements for roads and parking, creating more space for high-quality, liveable areas. On the other hand, greater motorisation and the availability to perform leisure or work activities while travelling in AVs could increase the number of trips and travel distances, encouraging urban traffic congestion and sprawl. These diverse, an… Show more

“…In the case of Turin, the focus on urban (economic, social, and environmental) sustainability let emerge the livability of residential neighborhood as a fundamental issue in the preference of Vision 3 by the stakeholders. As also suggested by González-González et al [15], each city should explicitly state the core values of its urban agenda in visioning how to integrate AVs into the context.…”

“…Some authors have provided policy recommendations to local governments in terms of transport and land use policies that cities and regions could implement in the short-to-medium term to progressively accommodate AVs in their local environments (see, for example, [7,15,22,46]). Most of these policies can be considered as "no regret" policies.…”

“…Our results show that a drastically reduced fleet of OVs could serve all private vehicle trips in Singapore, freeing up tremendous amount of space currently dedicated to parking. Parking lots could be redeveloped for housing and other productive uses, in turn stimulating the creation of dense, walkable neighborhoods and reducing urban sprawl and the associated societal and environmental costs 9,46 . In the minds of some planners, OVs and AVs have the potential to spur an evolution towards a more pedestrian-oriented society and make urban living more attractive 47,48 .…”
