Abstract
New mobility services such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and automated driving vehicles are appearing recently. Traveling behavior and urban activities are changing drastically. Consequently, urban structures and land use are also changing, but their effects remain unclear. We assumed a wide introduction of shared mobility of automated driving, "shared-adus," which might be an important factor of MaaS. We assessed the shared-adus efficiency for different urban structures. Results demonstrate that 1) integrating urban functions raises the ride-sharing rate, but the number of vehicles needed and the vehicle traveling time seem to increase. Furthermore, the influences of changes in urban structure on travel efficiency of shared-adus differ with changes depending on the area.
