Abstract

The modern transportation system is walking step by step toward automation. As automated technology continues to develop, the new technology offers a considerable opportunity to enhance public transportation systems especially in the development and promotion of the sustainable mobility concepts. The driverless public transportation can only become a reality if they are fully accepted by their target/potential users. Hence, user acceptance studies are of great importance since they will investigate what factors can influence this acceptance. In the current study, the relationship between acceptance of driverless public transportation (PT) and PT passengers’ personal characteristics has been examined using Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed that the user acceptance of driverless PT has a significant relationship with the health condition of the passengers, frequency of PT usage, age, level of education and the motivation of the trip made by public transportation.
