Projects

People's Preferences for Different Uses of Autonomous Vehicles in China

people’s mindfulness score, trust, health situations, travel costs, knowledge of autonomous vehicles, and their willingness to change their travel mode are significantly related to their choosing autonomous paratransit as their preferred mode. Policymakers can focus on providing enough information about autonomous vehicles’ prices for people with low income and high travel costs. When design autonomous vehicles, people with high mindfulness level will be more acceptable to paratransit services.

Autonomous vehicles and visually impaired people's interaction

This project is an ongoing work about visually impaired people and autonomous vehicles' interaction. Researchers want to know how can visually impaired people need when they use autonomous vehicles in the future.

Mindful people's preferences on autonomous vehicles

people’s mindfulness score, trust, health situations, travel costs, knowledge of autonomous vehicles, and their willingness to change their travel mode are significantly related to their choosing autonomous paratransit as their preferred mode.
