Abstract
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) provide a new mobility option and have been becoming widespread around the world. They can be used not only as automobiles but also as public transport vehicles in the form of shuttles, buses and pods. One of the problem areas in implementing AVs as a public transport vehicle is to choose a suitable road for operating them. A fuzzy decision model combining analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) techniques with intuitionistic fuzzy sets is used to solve this problem.The results show that the BRT corridor is the most suitable option for operating AVs according to the decision criteria. Furthermore, operating AVs on a BRT corridor provides an unprecedented service provision approach.
