Divergent Transport Futures Technologies and Trends The University of Sydney Page 3
Emerging Transport Paradigm Digital Technologies Collaborative Consumption Vehicle Automation Demographic Change The University of Sydney Page 4
Collaborative Consumption and Vehicle Automation Already disrupted taxi industry Both competes and complements public transport depends on market and demographic (Rayle et al., 2016) Ownership model Own and share model (Musk, 2016) Universal automated taxi service (Enoch, 2015) Impacts on network efficiency unclear The University of Sydney Page 5
Demographic Change and Digital Technologies Youth licencing decline across developed countries (Delbosc and Currie, 2013) Mixed evidence due to education/employment or symbolism/ideology Difference between sharing information and sharing space Aging population transport disadvantage Digitalisation of economy Fourth industrial revolution The University of Sydney Page 6
Implications for Urban Efficiency Opportunities and Realities The University of Sydney Page 7
Future Scenarios for Intermediate Mode Development 1. Modal convergence to automated taxi service 2. Microtransit displaces and replaces fixed route public transport 3. Microtransit evolves into fixed route public transport The University of Sydney Page 8
