This paper argues that California s self-help county tax legislation, which funds additional highway spending, amounts to a natural experiment that can be used to construct a valid instrument to determine highway congestion s causal effect on the growth rates of GDP, employment, wages, and...

In unavoidable traffic accidents, autonomous vehicles (AVs) face the dilemma of protecting either the passenger(s) or third parties. Recent studies show that most people prefer AVs following a utilitarian approach by minimizing total harm. At the same time, however, they would adopt an AV only...

Fully autonomous vehicles (AV) would potentially be one of the most disruptive technologies of our time. The extent of the prospective benefits of AVs is strongly linked to how widely they will be accepted and adopted. Monitoring and tracking of individuals' reactions and intentions to use AVs...

Autonomous vehicles can profoundly change parking behavior in the future. Instead of searching for parking, autonomous vehicle owners get dropped off at their final destination and send their occupant-free cars to a parking spot. In this paper, we study the impact of parking in a bi-class...

Whilst self-driving cars are not vehicles of the future, but technology that is already available, their acceptance and implementation is heavily limited. People consider them as technology that has a lot of risk-be it technological, IT related, or even ethical. The aim of the present paper is...

This paper explores how the interaction between human-driven vehicles (HVs) cruising for parking and autonomous vehicles (AVs) traveling back and forth affects travel behavior and congestion. To capture the spatial distribution of parking, we develop a continuous spatial optimization model, with...
