Enhancing urban liveability: Modelling potential emission reductions of shared autonomous mobility and urban greening
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly regarded as catalysts for urban transformation, with the potential to reallocate space currently dominated by private motorised traffic towards more sustainable and citizen-oriented uses. However, empirical models based on real-world urban data confirming such potential remain limited. To address this gap, this study introduces a novel approach by simulating, within a real street network, the combined ef…
A citizen perspective on designing driverless streets
The arrival of autonomous vehicles could pose a great opportunity to redesign urban environments. Streets will be the first to be affected, as some of the space currently devoted to car traffic and parking could be repurposed and configured as new public spaces. This research explores street redesign opportunities considering citizen participation in the less-studied European context. To this end, a survey investigating pedestrian behaviour, publ…
Modelling sprawl in a medium-sized urban area considering the future arrival of autonomous vehicles
Cities may undergo important changes in the coming years driven by various economic, social, and technological innovations, such as those related to autonomous mobility. Among other effects, autonomous vehicles may affect morpho-functional patterns of urban development and, especially, may reinforce or reduce dispersed development patterns, which have been relevant in many cities, particularly in the last decades. In order to offer an assessment …
Planning policies for the driverless city using backcasting and the participatory Q-Methodology
Envisioning the driverless city using backcasting and Q-methodology
Despite the expected future introduction of autonomous vehicles in cities, very few studies have analysed the needs and challenges facing urban planning. This paper employs a combination of backcasting and Q-methodology to carry out participatory visioning for a future driverless city. This novel approach was used to elaborate shared visions of the desirable city among a group of 20 citizens and 10 practitioners. Views on 41 statements were analy…
Are current road investments exacerbating spatial inequalities inside European peripheral regions
The European Union has made considerable investments in transport infrastructures to reduce development gaps within and across territories and achieve a stronger regional cohesion. However, these economic efforts have not shown the expected effects, especially in peripheral regions, mainly due to the varied nature of their inner areas. This study aims to shed light on the existence of different types of areas inside peripheral regions that respon…
