Joint factor and latent class ordered probit analysis of intent to use unstaffed automated buses.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
By adopting a more environmentally friendly driving style and promoting sustainable transportation options, automated buses (ABs) could play a role in achieving long-term sustainability goals. This study explores the factors influencing the willingness to use ABs, based on survey data from 451 bus users in Scotland. Using latent class ordered probit analysis, distinct user groups were identified based on their intentions to use unstaffed ABs, along with the key factors influencing their class membership. Concerns about driving capabilities and the implementation of technology emerged as the strongest negative predictors for urban residents without health issues. For rural residents and those with health issues, use intentions were primarily influenced by expectations of the benefits associated with ABs. These insights are valuable for bus manufacturers, service operators, and transport authorities, informing the development of policies and strategies for the future deployment of SAE level 5 ABs.
