Abstract
The world today is rapidly changing with the spread of automation. Moreover, urban life is more and more common and the number of inhabitants is rapidly growing. This time is the renaissance of bicycle-based vehicles, especially of electric power assisted bicycles. Vehicle sharing is also getting more popular. These progresses will have a crucial effect on traditional transportation networks. Moreover, the traffic volume, parking facilities and public space usage can be drastically modified. A research data is introduced from Paris and Lisbon, which helps to forecast the effect of the autonomous and sharing systems. This evolution can be advantageous, but it can also bring some disadvantages. In this article, these changes are summarized in the mirror of history, especially the Futurama concept and the transport system changes in Los Angeles. This overview will be a good basis for further research and for the development of a routing algorithm.
Highlights
Autonomous development is more and more in the focus of all the developers in the transportation industry
Another research on autonomous car usage was based on a simulation of Lisbon’s traffic change in the case of presence of autonomous taxis; this study predicted that the number of cars can be reduced to approximately 10%, only if there is a well-functioning, high-capacity public transport
These might have a significant effect on public transport systems and autonomous transportation
Summary
Autonomous development is more and more in the focus of all the developers in the transportation industry. In the case of a passenger transport in a multimodal transport chain, the level of comfort and available parking spots are the most important factors This was researched and three scenarios were modeled in [9]. The three alternatives are the following: the first is traveling only with a private car; the second is that the decision can be made between using a private car or using the public transport with a P+R facility and the third alternative considered the personal comfort This area was examined by Kirchler [10]. That paper focused only on the role of autonomous cars In this article, their effect on the public transport and the possible function of autonomous vehicles in public transport is presented. THE HISTORY OF THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE WITH SHARING
