The
Department for Transport has published a user study on the
future of transport.
The review looks at existing evidence on characteristics of
who is using new and emerging transport technologies in the
UK, their motivations and barriers to use.
Details
Please note: this study took place before the COVID-19
crisis.
The primary aim of this study was to identify consumer
characteristics, motivations and barriers associated
with the uptake of different new and emerging transport
technologies in the UK.
3 further aims were to:
- explore the effectiveness of incentives to
encourage use
- explore the impact of new transport technologies on
public transport and road use
- identify evidence gaps and areas of further
development.
Consumer characteristics in scope of the study
included:
- demographic characteristics
- attitudes and intentions to use new types of
transport
- typical travel behaviour
- geographical location
The study covered the following transport modes:
- Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)
- automated vehicles
- shared transport
- app-based minicab service
- demand responsive transport (DRT)
- electric vehicles
- electric bikes (e-bikes)
The approach combined a rapid evidence assessment of
UK literature
published after 2010, plus in-depth interviews with 15
expert stakeholders (academics and transport experts).
This report is part of the Future of
Transport programme, which aims to shape transport
innovation and secure the UK’s position as a leader in
the transport sector of the future.
