Modular dynamic ride-sharing transport systems

Abstract

It is widely recognised that digital technology – and in particular dynamic ride sharing systems (DRS) – is leading to fundamental changes to vehicular transport and in particular, offers the prospect of substantially more cost effective forms of transport. A much anticipated transformational wave is that of autonomous vehicles (AVs) which carry the prospect of considerably cheaper and far more convenient individualised transport. That eventuality when married to DRS in the form of shared AVs (SAVs) — is seen as individualised transport’s ‘killer app’ with the attendant risk of its convenience and low cost drawing clients away from public transport systems.
