What determines the acceptance of socially optimal traffic coordination?: A scenario-based examination in Germany

Author

  • Koller, Florian

Abstract

Social optimization emerged as a strategy for the attainment of more efficient road traffic (i.e., minimal total or average travel time). In order to achieve efficiency benefits, collective action is needed. A major challenge is that not every individual benefits equally from social optimization. Thus, a corresponding technological implementation (i.e., a social optimizing traveler information system (SOTIS)) is prone to rejection. The question remains as to which factors underlie the acceptance of such a system. Therefore a sample of 391 car drivers in Germany, stratified by kilometers driven per year, age and gender, completed a scenario-based questionnaire addressing attitudinal acceptance of a SOTIS.
