The surveys aimed to capture public acceptance and concerns regarding AVs, focusing on changes in perception before and after the trials. Data was gathered from representative samples in three municipalities per canton, using longitudinal panel surveys in Schaffhausen and a cross-sectional survey in Valais. Possible uses include analyses of public awareness and acceptance of AVs post-trial and investigating regional differences in perceived accessibility and benefits. This dataset offers valuable insights for researchers interested in the integration of AVs into public transport systems. The data enables further analysis and comparison with other regions and contexts. ER -
