Thomas Shirley et al.

Summary: Research based on survey responses from South Carolina residents found that during disasters, people who are unemployed, have experience in disaster relief, regularly participate in religious activities, and are comfortable with autonomous vehicles (AVs) are more willing to share their AVs for evacuation. Simulation results showed that the potential use of AVs for evacuation assistance increases linearly with AV market penetration, with the ability to evacuate all households in need when market penetration reaches 30% or higher.
