Automated Mobility Districts Toolkit

Abstract

On-demand transportation services have seen a dramatic rise in the past decade, thanks to technology. Connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology holds potential for a major transformation in the on-demand mobility services landscape.The timeline for fully automated vehicles (AVs) to reach the critical market share is still uncertain. In the short term, many cities in the United States and abroad are testing low-speed automated electric shuttles (AES) as a shared on-demand mobility service in geo-fenced regions. This presentation provides information about the development of the Automated Mobility District (AMD) Toolkit, which features an assortment of modeling and simulation capabilities. An AMD is a campus-sized implementation of connected and automated vehicle technologies that realize all the benefits of a fully electric automated mobility service within a confined region or district.
