Uppskattning av de potentiella rumsliga effekterna av delade autonoma bilar : En fallstudie av Stockholm

The area of autonomous vehicles is relatively new and not too many new studies have been produced. Autonomous vehicles do however have an incredibly disruptive potential to alter our cities. Through three scenarios constructed from the current literature on autonomous vehicles, this study will examine the potential for reallocation of space from cars to pedestrian or other uses made possible by the adoption of autonomous, and shared autonomous vehicles in particular. Once the three scenarios were constructed, three areas were chosen to examine how they would be impacted from each of the scenarios. Using examples of urban space reclamation projects from other cities, examples of potential new uses were constructed. The results of this study are that the potential for reallocation is indeed substantial, but that it varies with the adoption of autonomous vehicles and shared autonomous vehicles
