AVs won’t just transport

People Goods

But we will see a massive increase in the transportation of

Services

We have never had a product like this…

When certified safe to drive unmanned:

can do work

make owners money

rapid market penetration

16

Transportation-as-a-Service (TaaS)?

17

AV manufacturers won’t sell the goose that lays the golden eggs. Long term TaaS profits will be far more profitable. Average Canadian family will be $3,000 better off by not owning car, but using TaaS.

Why a big deal? •  An AV will do work moving

people, goods, services •  An AV will make money for

owner •  AV Demand > Supply •  Rapid Market Penetration •  Disruptive

Autonomous Vehicle Zones (AVZs)

§  Remove human drivers = Maximum Benefits ASAP §  Improve quality of life ranking in all categories §  Promote walkability and active transportation §  The ‘forgotten 30%’ – unlicensed, disabled, seniors etc. §  Being discussed in LA, Singapore, Helsinki

Opportunities & Challenges for Parking:

§ Can existing parking facilities be re-purposed?

§ Future-proof infrastructure design § Fleets will need downtown bases

– Fuel/recharge, maintenance, cleaning § Plan for pick-up & drop-off zones

These technologies are coming like a freight train. If we’re ready, great. If we’re not, tough. They’re coming anyway. - Paul Godsmark

Traditional Parking Options

28

Future Parking Options with AVs

29

Potential Parking Outcomes from AVs

30

•  Cars drive until they find the nearest spot that balances response time (when summoned) with cost – could be in surrounding neighbourhoods

•  Cars drive all the way home after drop-off •  Cars circulate looking for trips (i.e. for hire)

or waiting to be summoned by owners •  Cars continue to use existing parking

supplies

Common issues

31

•  Huge drop off / loading demands •  How to accommodate? •  On street and/or off street? •  Building design will likely need to adapt

•  Additional vehicle trips from empty vehicles •  Congestion impact

•  Price reductions in existing parking facilities •  How to make up lost revenues? •  Shift to loading charges?

•  Opportunity to significantly improve customer experience

Potential Strategies for Cities

32

•  Consider broader on-street parking management initiatives •  May need to control all on-street parking,

rather than just congested areas •  Consider the future flexibility of new parking

facilities, and scrutinize the need •  Could use adaptable designs, or consider

short / interim solutions that can be replaced

•  Consider the potential for parking developments as part of land use planning in non-traditional (i.e. periphery areas)

Calgary Downtown Parking Strategy

33

•  Previously: new developments build 50% of parking requirement on site, pay City remaining 50% to build public parking in surrounding area

•  Development community desired to build 100% of parking requirement on site

•  City agreed to this, with provision for relaxing the requirement if a contribution to broader area infrastructure is made

Calgary Downtown Parking Strategy

34

•  Important component of the new approach was the risk to the City of an obligation to build future parking facilities if not warranted / economic •  Industry better positioned to respond

•  Biggest risk to City of the new approach – foregone future parking revenue (if AVs don’t / are slow to take hold)

Canadian Airports Funding

36

•  Non aeronautical revenue is an integral component of Canadian Airports

•  Parking is the largest source of non aeronautical revenues for most airports

•  Loss of this stream would require replacement with other fees for airports to continue operating

* Source – Canadian Airports Council

Airports – Early Adopters

37

•  Self driving buses and people movers already in airports •  Christchurch Airport, New

Zealand •  San Jose Airport, California •  Heathrow Airport, London

•  Parking garage redesign •  Elimination of drive aisles

•  Car rental companies will embrace early

Next Generation Autonomous

38

•  Autonomous aerial taxi commenced at Dubai International Airport

Airport Business and Sociological Impacts

39

•  Airline impacts – passenger and freight •  Transit impacts •  Road network not designed for future traffic

demands •  Legal and insurance impacts •  Transportation business employs 20% of all

Canadians •  Unemployment and re training

Autonomous Vehicles: Autonomous Mobility and the Future of Parking Nick Spensieri, Metrolinx

Context

41

§  A number of possible scenarios for AV adoption could produce significant changes for land-use, VKT, and parking needs

–  Outcomes depend on the level of automation, ownership model and % of AV uptake

–  Impacts on parking will be largely influenced by the ability of vehicles to fully self-park

§  General expectation exists that use, supply, location and configuration of future parking will be affected

–  Estimates that 90% of surface parking could become surplus but it is unlikely to disappear altogether

§  Given long capital planning cycles it is important to entertain the notion that the current parking supply may no longer be needed

Parking Needs based on Ownership Model vs Percentage Uptake

42

Expectations and characteristics Usage §  Vastly increased Pick-up and Drop-off (PUDO)

activity should be expected both curbside and at stations

§  Potential for increased EV charging given technological convergence

Supply §  Significantly lower levels of overall parking need

due to increased PUDO, shared vehicles, and private vehicles that return home

Location §  Parking may no longer need to be located within

walking distance of destinations Configuration §  Automated parking may allow for the size of

surface spaces to be reduced, smaller structures with lower ceilings, and off-site locations

Autonomous Vehicles and Parking

43

POTENTIAL street and station level considerations

Consider now §  Design stations and curbsides with expectation of much

higher levels of pick-up drop-off activity §  Re-evaluate expensive capital expenditures for parking

and design to maximize flexibility, redeployment and/or future adaptability

–  E.g. Use modular structures or design permanent structures with flat floor construction, outboard ramps, increased ceiling height and live loading capacity

§  Develop real-time, connected, parking inventory to alert vehicles about availability of PUDO and parking spaces

§  Pilot automated robotic parking enforcement Consider in a future state §  Re-evaluate location of parking with local context and

redevelopment in mind §  Design purpose built AV parking and structures to

drastically increase efficiency including Automated Valet Parking
