Abstract

This study explores the factors which affect user acceptance for Robo Taxi, an electricity-based Autonomous Vehicles based on a Value based Adoption Model. The three main factors of benefit (usefulness and enjoyment), sacrifice (technicality and perceived fee level), and user experience about mobility services such as car sharing, taxi, and autonomous vehicles, were finally selected as independent variables as a influential factors on perceived values and adoption intention of Robo taxi. The study found that usefulness, enjoyment, and perceived fee had a significant effects on adoption intention, and some user experiences had a significant effect on benefit factors. This study has important implications for incorporating the Value-based Adoption Model results into the service design for the activation of Robo taxi, and furthermore, they can provide a theoretical basis for effective use of the research findings.

본 연구는 운전자 개입 없이 운행이 가능한 전기차 기반의 자율주행 택시인 로보택시에 대하여 혜택요인과 희생요인을 전반적으로 고려한 가치기반수용모델 기반의 사용자 수용성 영향 요인을 분석하였다. 지각된 혜택(지각된 유용성, 지각된 즐거움), 지각된 희생(기술적 특성, 지각된 비용), 사용자 경험(차량공유서비스, 택시, 자율주행자동차, 자가용)을 독립변수로 최종 선정하여, 경기도민 429명을 대상으로 지각된 가치 및 수용 의도에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 연구 결과, 지각된 혜택 요인에 해당하는 지각된 유용성과 지각된 즐거움, 지각된 희생 요인에 해당하는 지각된 비용이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, 지각된 가치는 로보택시 수용 의도에 영향을 미치고, 일부 사용자 경험이 지각된 혜택 요인에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 가치기반수용모델 결과를 로보택시 활성화를 위한 서비스 설계에 접목시킬 수 있는 중요한 의미가 있으며, 나아가 연구 결과를 효과적으로 이용하기 위한 이론적 근거를 제공할 수 있다.
