自动车辆的激增将给交通系统带来实质性的变化。这项研究说明了规划者对AVS对交通和社会公平的潜在影响的理解。来自两个城市的政府和公交机构的规划者的焦点小组讨论表明，自动驾驶汽车可能会给交通系统带来挑战和机遇。政策制定者需要采取行动(如确保资金来源，发展自动化交通，使用自动增值服务提供灵活的服务)，以确保公交服务的质量，并对空置的自动增值服务进行监管。然而，社会公平尚未成为规划者讨论的中心议题。
The proliferation of automated vehicles (AVs) will bring substantial changes to the transport system. This study illustrates planners’ understanding of the potential impacts of AVs on transit and social equity. A focus group discussion of planners from governments and transit agencies in the Twin Cities shows that AVs may bring both challenges and opportunities to the transit system. Policymakers need to take actions (such as securing funding sources, developing automated transit, using AVs for flexible services) to ensure the quality of transit service and regulate unoccupied AVs. However, social equity has yet to become a centerpiece in planners’ discussion.
