The winning paper, entitled “International benchmark on experimentations with Autonomous Shuttles for Collective Transport” surveyed 92 experimentations with Autonomous Shuttles worldwide. Results highlighted an European lead on both the number of experimentations and manufacturers. The deployments were aimed towards public transportation business models being either showcases or trials, mainly offered free of charge to commuters. Regular-line transport system was the prevailing operational mode adopted, meanwhile, on-demand platform services were still present, but incipient. Eight main typologies of uses able to fulfill both private and public transport offerings were identified, being either focused on solving first- and last-mile issues and/or microtransit commute. Nine key-performance indicators were selected and divided into economic – and user-centered. At last, the main common stakeholders among all experimentations were identified, as well as how different forms of value (financial; usage; research; data) are created and distributed among them in order to promote sustained growth and evolution of the ecosystem.
