ABSTRACT

The issues regarding technological development and real-world driving of autonomous vehicles become heated recently at home and abroad. There is a variety of published research on how vehicle automation impacts on our future society. Most of those researches take a conceptual approach, while much less attention has been given to the empirical analysis on that matter. This study aims to conduct a literature review and to forecast changes in travel demand from a transportation planning perspective. This study quantitatively analyzes the benefit of more autonomous vehicle on the road in reducing accident costs and relieving traffic congestion. These effects are turn out to be larger in the case of congested urban areas such as Seoul Metropolitan Area in terms of cost-effectiveness. This study finds its meaning in that it provides numerical evidence of autonomous vehicle’s impacts and can be used as a reference for long-term policies with regard to autonomous vehicles.
