Abstract

To avoid negative externalities of autonomous vehicles on urban mobility, they should complement and not compete with public transport. Therefore, we analyze the influences on the costs of extending the service of an autonomous shuttle pilot. We identified how changes in the trajectory size, the service frequency and the average speed affect the required number of shuttles and the costs to provide this service. Then, we also compare the difference between having a service with an on-board operator or with a remote supervision. On a 3km trajectory, having a shuttle frequency every 5 minutes will necessitate, with the current average speed, 5 shuttles and therefore it will be worth to have a remote supervision. We then suggest refining assumptions regarding the new costs that remote supervision and on-demand services will induce with inputs from the industry and public transport operators.
