This open access book gathers contributions to the EU-funded Horizon 2020 project Shared automation Operating models for Worldwide adoption (SHOW). It reports on technologies and business models focusing on supporting the deployment of shared, connected, and electrified automation in urban transport. Chapters discuss practical issues concerning mobility data management, strategies to improve user acceptance and engagement, and reports on assessment and simulation techniques to test shared automated shuttles in various contexts. Overall, this book offers a timely survey on connected and automated mobility, with extensive and practical information for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, involved in developing user-centred, automated, and sustainable future mobility.

Reports on the Results of the EU funded project SHOW Describes operating models for the integration of automated vehicles in public transport Covers technologies to foster connected and shared automated transport Is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access
