Automation and Electrification: Public Trials and Users' Adaptation

Electric Car Project at Hammarby Sjöstad (with: Joram Langbroek and Joel Franklin a.o.)

There have been a good number of vehicle types with electric drivetrain are now introduced all over the world. Despite of its benefits in reducing the carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption, its market take up is very slow, including in Sweden. Focusing on the users’ behaviours side, this project investigate the reasons underlie the users decision making processes in taking up/not taking up the electric vehicle and investigate the potential rebound effects to the adoption of more fuel efficient vehicle. The goals of this project are to provide feedback to the users themselves and also to decision makers and the stakeholders on the immediate impacts of such technology adoption and to provide potential suggestions to the systems and the regulatory framework in providing and delivering the technology to the users in most suitable and acceptable manner.

Autonomous bus deployment on Public Road : (with Esther Chee Pei Nen, Stafan Algers, Erik Jenelius, Jonas Hatzenbühler, in coorperation with Nobina, lead by Anna Pernestål-Breden and Rami Darwis from ITRL)

The SARA1 project, run together with the Autopiloten project aims to increase knowledge and understanding about how Automated Vehicles (AV) can contribute to and complement public transport. 2 units of EZ10 were trialled to be operated in a public road segment for 6 months period. Interactions between different group of road users and users' willingness-to-use and -to-pay for the last mile service are the focused on the analysis.

Autonomous bus deployment in Barkaby: (in coorperation with Nobina, SLL, Järfalla kommun, lead by Anna Pernestål-Breden from ITRL)

A 2.5 years project focussing on deploying autonomous bus service as a real feeder service of the existing public transport services at newly developed residential areas at Barkabystaden. The project is led by Nobina AB.
