Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent a pivotal technology within the realm of smart and sustainable transportation systems. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, sensors, and advanced navigation systems, AVs operate autonomously without the need for human intervention. This innovation opens new horizons for optimizing urban transportation networks and curtailing traffic challenges. One significant application of AVs lies in their integration into shared mobility systems, albeit accompanied by a distinct set of hurdles necessitating tailored solutions and strategic approaches.
This study employs micro-simulation models to assess the impact of Shared Autonomous Vehicles (SAVs) within a segment of the urban networks of Tehran and Shiraz. The findings juxtapose the outcomes across both cities. The presence of SAVs equipped with ride-sharing functionality demonstrates a decline in Vehicle Kilometers Traveled (VKT) or adjusts the empty VKT. Conversely, SAVs lacking ride-sharing features escalate VKT by up to 28% in Tehran and 41% in Shiraz compared to the base scenario. The mean network speed is contingent upon factors such as ride-sharing protocols, fleet size, and market penetration rate. SAVs incorporating ride-sharing schemes with minimal fleet sizes enhance average speeds by 8% in Tehran and 25% in Shiraz. Conversely, instances where fleet sizes maximize lead to diminished average network speeds.
