Abstract
Automated mobility can contribute to a sustainable, efficient and safe mobility system. It requires systemic changes in the socio-technical system of society. The transition to automated mobility can be approached from three analytical levels: the regime level is of prime interest. This research shows that this level can be changed by a coordinating, facilitating and stimulating key-actor: the provinces. The northern provinces of the Netherlands strive for a on-demand, collective, autonomous system to increase accessibility in depopulated areas. For implementation, society has to be involved to a greater extent. Trust and understanding is necessary for exploitative actors to adopt automated related niches, leading to a regime-shift. Provinces are determined to continue the stimulation of local automated-related innovation. Along with the regional political willingness, automated mobility can infiltrate the current regime. Regional coordination is necessary to ensure consecutive learning processes of diverse pilots and the development of a universal automated system.
