Abstract
As public transportation services continue to shrink due to deteriorating business conditions caused by a declining population and aging society with fewer children, evaluation based on “cross-sector effects,” which quantitatively captures the necessity and value of public transportation services in addition to business profitability, is advancing in practical terms. This paper focuses on public transportation services using automated driving systems, which are expected to provide a means of transportation for the elderly and others amid the recent driver shortage, and aims to capture the quantitative value of the introduction of such services through cross-sector effects, which have not yet been attempted. This paper analyzes a case study of the Ishiodai area of Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, where an automated driving service is in regular operation, and finds that the cross-sector effect is higher than when the automated driving service is not implemented or when it is replaced by a demand cab.
