ABSTRACT

Previous surveys of people’s attitudes toward automated vehicles (AVs) and transit integration have primarily taken place in large urban areas. AV-transit integration also has a great potential in small urban areas. This paper is based on a survey of people’s attitudes towards AV-transit integration carried out in two small urban areas in the US State of Wisconsin. A total of 266 finished responses were analyzed using text mining, factor analysis, and regression analysis. Results show that respondents know about AVs and driving assistance technologies and welcome AV-transit integration but are unsure about its potential impacts. Technology-savvy respondents were more positive but had more concerns about AV-transit integration than others. Respondents who enjoyed driving were not necessarily against transit, as they were more positive about AV-transit integration and were more willing to use automated buses than those who did not enjoy driving as much. Transit users were more positive toward AV-transit integration than non-transit users.

摘要

以前对人们对自动驾驶汽车 (AV) 和交通整合的态度的调查主要发生在大城市地区。AV-transit 集成在小城市地区也有很大的潜力。本文基于在美国威斯康星州的两个小城市地区进行的人们对 AV-transit 集成的态度调查。使用文本挖掘、因子分析和回归分析对总共 266 个完成的回答进行了分析。结果表明，受访者了解自动驾驶汽车和驾驶辅助技术，并欢迎自动驾驶汽车与公交集成，但不确定其潜在影响。精通技术的受访者更积极，但比其他人更担心 AV-transit 集成。喜欢开车的受访者不一定反对公共交通，因为他们对 AV-transit 集成更积极，并且比那些不太喜欢驾驶的人更愿意使用自动公交车。与非公交用户相比，公交用户对 AV 公交整合更为积极。
