“…Public opinion on private vehicle use and social norms over vehicle ownership may change along with the introduction of shared mobility in the transportation sector. 32,110 CAVs can help change public perception of shared consumption by facilitating and promoting shared mobility. 111 The millennial generation has already shown different transportation preferences and opinions compared to prior generations.…”

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are poised to reshape transportation and mobility by replacing humans as the driver and service provider. While the primary stated motivation for vehicle automation is to improve safety and convenience of road mobility, this transformation also provides a valuable opportunity to improve vehicle energy efficiency and reduce emissions in the transportation sector. Progress in vehicle efficiency and functionality, however, does not necessarily translate to net positive environmental outcomes. Here, we examine the interactions between CAV technology and the environment at four levels of increasing complexity: vehicle, transportation system, urban system, and society. We find that environmental impacts come from CAV-facilitated transformations at all four levels, rather than from CAV technology directly. We anticipate net positive environmental impacts at the vehicle, transportation system, and urban system levels, but expect greater vehicle utilization and shifts in travel patterns at the society level to offset some of these benefits. Focusing on the vehicle-level improvements associated with CAV technology is likely to yield excessively optimistic estimates of environmental benefits. Future research and policy efforts should strive to clarify the extent and possible synergetic effects from a systems level to envisage and address concerns regarding the short- and long-term sustainable adoption of CAV technology.

“…Shared mobility includes a variety of service models (e.g., carsharing, ridesharing, bikesharing) to meet travel needs and may result in a transformative impact on urban mobility [4]- [8] and landscape. As shared mobility services keep growing, there has been widespread speculation on their impact [7], [9], [10].…”

Shared mobility can provide access to transportation on a custom basis without vehicle ownership. The advent of connected and automated vehicle technologies can further enhance the potential benefits of shared mobility systems. Although the implications of a system with shared autonomous vehicles have been investigated, the research reported in the literature has exhibited contradictory outcomes. In this paper, we present a summary of the research efforts in shared autonomous vehicle systems that have been reported in the literature to date and discuss potential future research directions.

“…The literature on SUMPs and sustainable city logistics planning and management highlights main components of urban mobility plans, relevant stakeholders and major issues [3][4][5][6][7][8], along with the elements to include urban logistics in urban plans [9,10]. When addressing urban logistics, the concepts of logistics pooling, resource sharing [1,2,[10][11][12] and mixed passenger and freight transport planning [1,13] are introduced. Moreover, a growing literature addresses the principles of cargo hitching [14][15][16][17].…”

“…Moreover, a growing literature addresses the principles of cargo hitching [14][15][16][17]. Mixed passenger/freight transport systems and cargo hitching represent innovative approaches to urban mobility [13], which are linked to the sharing economy [10,12,13,18,19] and overall smart city paradigms [20][21][22][23][24][25]. In the urban environment, passenger and freight flows and systems co-exist to compose the complex system of urban mobility [13].…”

Smart Urban Planning: Evaluating Urban Logistics Performance of Innovative Solutions and Sustainable Policies in the Venice Lagoon—the Results of a Case Study

Currently, remarkable gaps of operational, social and environmental efficiency and overall sub-optimization of the logistics and mobility systems exist in urban areas. There is then the need to promote and assess innovative transport solutions and policy-making within SUMPs (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans) to deal with such critical issues in order to improve urban sustainability. The paper focuses on the case study of the Venice Lagoon, where islands—despite representing a relevant feature of urban planning—face a tremendous lack of accessibility, depopulation, social cohesion and they turn out to be poorly connected. By developing an original scenario-building methodological framework and performing data collection activities, the purpose of the paper consists of assessing the feasibility of a mixed passenger and freight transport system —sometimes called cargo hitching. Mixed passenger and freight systems/cargo hitching are considered as an innovative framework based on the integration of freight and passenger urban systems and resources to optimize the existing transport capacity, and thus, urban sustainability. Results show that the overall existing urban transport capacity can accommodate urban freight flows on main connections in the Lagoon. The reduction in spare public transport capacity, as well as in the number (and type) of circulating freight boats show—in various scenarios—the degree of optimization of the resulting urban network configuration and the positive impacts on urban sustainability. This paves the way for the regulatory framework to adopt proposed solutions.
