Shared Autonomous Vehicles Ontology

September 20, 2022

After rapid technological developments especially over the past decade, autonomous vehicle (i.e., self-driving) technology is expected to be ready for wide deployment soon, with large implications for urban mobility. It is generally accepted that one of the main benefits of self-driving cars could be reduced road congestion, as current roads are expected to have much higher capacity if most of the traffic is shared autonomous vehicles. On the other hand, the convenience of autonomous vehicles can generate significant further traffic, both from people who currently are not able or prefer not to drive, and more generally, through the concept that increased road and parking capacity often leads to increased traffic. Further gains are expected from using shared autonomous vehicles instead of private ones, with people buying mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), bringing new services to the market such as shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) instead of just buying cars. This paper will focus on the development of a SAVs ontology.
