Introducing shared autonomous vehicles (SAV) is considered as a solution to problems of public transportation in Japan regional cities. However, there will be demerits to introducing SAV such as diffusion of residences, decrease in use of public transportation. In this study, using urban traffic simulation and land use and transport interaction model, we aim to clarify the changes in urban structure and the amount of social benefits when SAV are introduced in regional city. The result shows that social benefits are greatest, and diffusion of residences can be controlled in the case where SAV play role in means of not only direct access to destination but also access and egress to public transportation and SAV fare is set at lower rates for short distances.
