Abstract

This poster highlights a study quantifying the mobility and energy benefits of automated mobility districts (AMDs), with a focus on the district-scale implementation of advanced vehicle (AV) technologies, the benefits of an AV-shared-mobility service within a confined geographic region or district, and AMD models serving as 'special generators' in existing urban travel demand models. Through the study, leaders developed an AMD modeling and simulation toolkit.
