Abstract
ABSTRACT
This paper presents an econometric modelling framework to unravel the communication and mobility issues of visually impaired pedestrians in the context of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). The research uses a dataset collected through a tailor-made stated-preference survey given to visually impaired pedestrians and provides evidence-based recommendations on communication techniques. The recommendations are based on the findings of a structural equation model (SEM) estimated using the survey data. The latent factors ‘safety and security’ and ‘importance of hearing’ are generated using a confirmatory factor analysis embedded in the SEM. The results from the model show that these two factors have negative influences on how much a visually impaired pedestrian trusts the use of CAVs.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Planning and Technology places considerable emphasis on the interface between transportation planning and technology, economics, land use planning and policy.
The Editor welcomes submissions covering, but not limited to, topics such as:
• transport demand
• land use forecasting
• economic evaluation and its relationship to policy in both developed and developing countries
• conventional and possibly unconventional future systems technology
• urban and interurban transport terminals and interchanges
• environmental aspects associated with transport (particularly those relating to climate change resilience and adaptation).
The journal also welcomes technical papers of a more narrow focus as well as in-depth state-of-the-art papers. State-of-the-art papers should address transport topics that have a strong empirical base and contain explanatory research results that fit well with the core aims and scope of the journal.
