Resumo: | Automation, connectivity, electrification, and shared mobility are the dominant trends transforming the passenger transportation industry. Together they form what is considered one of the most disruptive means of transportation of the future, the robotaxi. This master thesis explores the impact of robotaxis on the future of the passenger transportation industry, with particular attention to the usage perspectives and mobility behavior of consumers. The results are based on an exploratory analysis involving seven in-depth semi-structured expert interviews, a consumer survey, and existing literature. Usage perspectives were observed through a use case analysis that identified work-related commuting as the use case with the highest application potential. In the light of work-related commuting, the thesis revealed that robotaxis significantly reduce commuters’ value of time and display an attractive mobility alternative from a cost perspective. In addition, it is shown that in the next ten years, consumer preferences regarding consumers’ transportation choice significantly shift towards robotaxis. The research reveals that the industry’s most likely future state is characterized by the gradual introduction of robotaxis. Therefore, in five to ten years, robotaxis are used by early adopters and will impose significant changes in industry dynamics as competition increases and new revenue streams emerge. The results intend to enable industry players to target specific consumers, derive strategic implications, business models, and vehicle concepts. Further, they contribute to an objective scientific, political, and social discussion and serve as a basis for further research in the field of robotaxis. |

Juntos, formam um dos meios de transporte mais disruptivos, o robotáxi. Esta tese explora o impacto dos robotáxis no futuro desta indústria, focando-se nas perspetivas de utilização e no comportamento de mobilidade dos consumidores. Os resultados baseiam-se numa análise que inclui sete entrevistas feitas a peritos, um inquérito aos consumidores e na literatura existente. As perspetivas de utilização foram observadas através de uma análise de caso de uso que identificou as deslocações para o trabalho como o caso com maior potencial de aplicação. Revela-se que os robotáxis reduzem significativamente a perceção de tempo gasto nestas deslocações e constituem uma alternativa de mobilidade atrativa do ponto de vista monetário. Adicionalmente, mostra-se que, nos próximos dez anos, as preferências dos consumidores em relação à escolha de transporte mudarão significativamente havendo uma tendência para a adoção de robotáxis. Este estudo revela que o futuro da indústria será marcado pela introdução gradual de robotáxis. Assim, dentro de cinco a dez anos, os robotáxis serão utilizados pelos consumidores pioneiros na adoção e irão impor mudanças significativas na dinâmica da indústria à medida que a concorrência aumente e surjam novos fluxos de receitas. Os resultados do estudo pretendem permitir aos agentes desta indústria focar-se em consumidores específicos, retirar implicações estratégicas, modelos empresariais, e conceitos relacionados com veículos. Adicionalmente, contribuem para uma discussão científica, política e social e servem de base para mais investigação no campo dos robotáxis.Pinho, André de AlmeidaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaMische, Luca2023-01-16T14:24:01Z2020-10-1220202020-10-12T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/39879TID:202531147enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:45:26Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/39879Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:32:39.495311Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
