While many transportation and city planners, researchers, students, practitioners, and political leaders are familiar with the technical nature and promise of vehicle automation, there is no consensus yet on the direction traffic management, infrastructure, or land-use policies and systems will take as a result. The End of Driving: Transportation Systems and Public Policy Planning for Autonomous Vehicles explores both the potentials of vehicle automation technology and its barriers to forming coherent urban deployment. The book evaluates the case for deliberate development of automated public transportation and mobility-as-a-service as paths towards sustainable mobility, describing critical approaches to the planning and management of vehicle automation technology. It serves as a reference for understanding the full life cycle of the multi-year transportation systems planning processes, including regulation, planning, and acquisition for regional transportation. Application-oriented, research-based, and solution-oriented rather than predict-and-warn,? The End of Driving concludes with a detailed discussion of the systems design needed for accomplishing this shift. Offers a workable public transit solution design melding the traditional acquire-and-operate? mode with the absorption of new technology as it is readyProvides a step-by-step discussion of digital systems designs and effective regulation-by-data approaches needed for a new urban mobilityLearning aids include case study scenarios, chapter objectives and discussion questions, sidebars, and Glossary INDICE: 1.
