Abstract
The implementation of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) as part of the mobility and transportation system in urban areas is one of the most prominent sectors for innovation. However, many components of the implementation have yet to be thoroughly investigated. Aspects concerning the implementation of AVs in the urban mobility system have started to be surveyed via project in various countries of the European Union. The current research study aims to explore “the challenges and consequences of implementation of AVs to the land-uses of Amsterdam city.” To frame the implementation of AVs in the mobility system, the use of transition theory is applied. Moreover, the conceptual model combines specific aspects of the tension variables with the categorization of land-uses included in the research study. Additionally, the use of systematic literature review is encompassed to provide with the necessary data, since many aspects of implementation have not been fully explored. Via the literature review variables that affect land-uses investigated and based on these variables, a Scenario Building process is utilized. Following the results from the Scenario Building process, the Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) is used to determine the relationship between the variables explored in the systematic literature review and how they affect the land-uses. The case study of Amsterdam city area is employed to assist in the visualization and conceptualization process. Expected results of the research, even though the lack of field data for the implementation, are the strongest in the causal relationship between Density/Sprawl and the rest variables through the MCA process.
