Bilaga till huvudrapport Färdplan Färingsö

The main aim of this empirical study was to scrutinise the feasibility of establishing an autonomous on-demand bus service on Färingsö. Furthermore, the aim was to gain indicators for some of the key parameters of the service that would facilitate user acceptance. For this purpose, quantitative and qualitative data was collected through an online survey as well as an interview study. As part of analysing the feasibility and to better understand potential effects of future transport solutions on travellers’ transport habits, focus was on/scrutinised a human-centric perspective. We were interested in how a potential service needs to be designed to be attractive for travellers in relation to the current transport system. Further data on travellers’ transport preferences and viewpoints were therefore of interest. As the basis for a specific design of the new solution, it was necessary to scrutinise people’s acceptance regarding features and properties of the proposed new service. This included aspects such as wait times, number of changes, travel times or different modes of ride requests (e.g. via smartphone, website, call etc.).
