What's beyond safety? Workshop on promoting well-being for mobility users in future hybrid societies

Recent advances in automated vehicle technology could lead to a “hybrid society” with close integration of traffic participants with different mobilities. This integration will likely impact their societal acceptance as well. While traditional methods of evaluating safety may be needed, consideration for the overall well-being of traffic participants is necessary. Transportation engineering and psychology researchers have considered the well-being of the overall travel experience. However, these methods need to consider well-being while interacting with mobilities. In the proposed workshop, we plan to define and characterize more precisely what should be considered while thinking about the well-being of traffic participants, how future interactions with semi-autonomous or automated mobility systems will interact in shared spaces, and the design considerations to facilitate cooperative interactions. Through this workshop, the organizers look to integrate the findings into a research agenda, which can lead to future collaborations initiated during this event.
