<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Today's technological innovations are creating the base for mobility solutions, which, accompanied to cultural and socio-economic changes taking place all over the world, open the door to new mobility scenarios. The challenge of innovation in the transport sector, including road, sea, rail, and air, is represented by automation of vehicles, particularly the automotive, from the viewpoint of demonstration and validation. Advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), on which vehicle automation relies, will further challenge this innovation. Vehicle connectivity and automation will boost a paradigm change in mobility use and the adoption on a large scale of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) travel options. However, certain conditions need to be in place for sustainable mobility solutions and new business models for transport services. This reference work aims to identify the obstacles to the introduction of cooperative and automated vehicles (CAVs) and MaaS. It presents the results of real research and study undertaken, and, having identified the obstacles, proposes solutions to address and overcome them, and make more realistic estimates of the timescales involved"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>AUTOMATED VEHICLES AND MaaS</b> <p><b>A topical overview of the issues facing automated driving systems and Mobility as a Service, identifies the obstacles to implementation and offers potential solutions</b><p>Advances in cooperative and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies, cultural and socio-economic shifts, measures to combat climate change, social pressures to reduce road deaths and injuries, and changing attitudes toward self-driving cars, are creating new and exciting mobility scenarios worldwide. However, many obstacles remain and are compounded by the consequences of COVID-19. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) integrates various forms of public and private transport services into a single on-demand mobility service. Combining trains, cars, buses, bicycles, and other forms of transport, MaaS promises a convenient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative to private automobiles.<p><i>Automated Vehicles and MaaS: Removing the Barriers</i> is an up-to-date overview of the contemporary challenges facing CAVs and MaaS. Written in a clear and accessible style, this timely volume summarizes recent research studies, describes the evolution of automated driving systems and MaaS, identifies the barriers to their widespread adoption, and proposes potential solutions to overcome and remove these barriers. The text focuses on the claims, realities, politics, new organizational roles, and implementation problems associated with CAVs and MaaS--providing industry professionals, policymakers, planners, administrators, and investors with a clear understanding of the issues facing the introduction of automated driving systems and MaaS.
