Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will be the next technological leap
for urban mobility. The question for decision makers and city
leaders is whether they contribute to achieving progressive social,
environmental, and economic targets or achieve the opposite. AVs
offer benefits such as safety, convenience, and enhanced mobility
for the young, the elderly, and the disabled. However, AVs
themselves will not relieve traffic congestion and in fact could
exacerbate traffic and increase vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
unless clear regulations and policies are adopted to manage their
use. In this paper, we outline the four transport planning tools that
are used to relieve traffic congestion: (۱) land use measures, (۲)
transportation demand management, (۳) transportation system
management, and (۴) road widening/new roads. We address how
AVs will complement or disrupt the effective use of these tools
and conclude that the tools must be overhauled with the advent of
automated mobility. Policy recommendations are provided for
each tool. In addition, we briefly discuss the new safety challenges
posed by integrating AVs into traffic.
