Modal Shares and Vehicle Kilometres Travelled with Shared Automated Vehicles: MATLAB Codes

This folder contains supporting software for the paper 'Are Shared Automated Vehicles Good for Public- or Private-Transport-Oriented Cities (or Neither)?'It contains the MATLAB codes used to generate graphs in the paper, as well as the resulting graphs. <br>The graphs illustrate how modal shares and total vehicle kilometres in a city change after the introduction of shared automated vehicles (SAVs) and how that change depends on the following parameters:* The sharing preferences (or: the importance of private travel) in the population. These preferences determine the private- or public-transport orientation of a city (see paper for explanation);* The SAV capacity;* The extent to which on-board experience in a SAV resembles that of a private trip. This extent is contained in a parameter called 'relative private travel benefit' taking values between 0 (no private travel benefit in an SAV) and 1 (trip in an SAV is comparable to a trip in a private car).
