TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Short-term and long-term impacts of shared autonomous vehicle choice behavior JO - Transportation research part D: transport and environment A1 - Huang, Kai A1 - Han, Xu A1 - An, Kun A1 - Liu, Zhiyuan SP - e104221 EP - e104221 VL - 132 IS - N2 - Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) is an emerging travel mode that can reduce parking spaces and accelerate urban sprawl. The time-space varying demand leads to the imbalance between travel demand and vehicle supply. Using pricing to affect clients' mode choice is a key method for addressing the imbalance problem, which includes long-term pricing and short-term allowance. Hence, in this paper, we propose an innovative method to enhance the SAV utilization rate while considering stochastic demand: fixed price on population mode choice and real-time allowance on personal departure time choice. A mixed integer nonlinear program is formulated to maximize the total profits of SAV operators. To solve this model, a customized gradient search algorithm is proposed. A case study is conducted in Suzhou Industrial Park, China. It reveals the impacts on travel demand and departure time choices and discusses the impacts and policy-making for SAV applications.
