 Surpass: How shared autonomous cars will transform cities
From
19-DEC-2016
To
18-SEP-2019
Summary
It is estimated that autonomous cars will surpass manual forms of driving by 2040, thereby imposing themselves on both the built and the natural environment. Historically, changes in transport, such as the diffusion of the first automobiles in the 1920s, have led to dramatic changes in urban infrastructures, with severe negative environmental and social repercussions. By merging urban geography and computer science, Surpass will use Dublin as a case study to anticipate and map the infrastructural changes that autonomous cars will trigger, so that cities can use these changes as an opportunity to evolve in a sustainable way. Given that self-driving cars are being diffused primarily through sharing services provided by international companies such as Uber, scholars argue that this new form of transport has the potential of reducing traffic congestion and car ownership, thereby opening up new opportunities to redesign cities. As having less traffic and cars in the city means that roads and parking spaces can be reduced, freed-up spaces could be reused for sustainability purposes and turned into, for example, gardens, bike lanes and renewable energy power stations. Through an innovative mixed-methods approach including foresight, scenario building, modelling and computer simulation, the Surpass team will produce the first study to estimate the impact that shared autonomous cars will have on urban traffic and car ownership, and quantify and map the urban space that can be freed-up.
