UK Autonomous Shuttle Trial Survey on User Experience and Adoption Intentions

Hisham Y. Makahleh provides survey data from a live autonomous shuttle trial at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK. The dataset includes responses from 321 participants, with 51% aware of the service and 71% of those aware having used the shuttle. It was last updated on 2026-05-17.

Use Cases

• Analyze factors influencing autonomous shuttle adoption based on reported barriers like lack of information and safety concerns.
• Model the relationship between direct experience and positive evaluations based on the described exposure effect.
• Identify key service attributes for passenger experience based on the ten evaluated attributes, including waiting time and comfort.

Strengths

• Data originates from a real-world trial with 321 survey respondents, providing empirical evidence.
• Includes specific metrics such as 62% of users indicating they would 'definitely' use the shuttle regularly.
• Survey captured both user and non-user perspectives, with non-user barriers quantified (e.g., 38% cited lack of information).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 29.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
