With low‐level vehicle automation already available, there is a necessity to estimate its
effects on traffic flow, especially if these could be negative. A long gradual transition will …

Gradual penetration of automated vehicles (AVs) into current motorway systems will usher
the stage of mixed traffic in which AVs will coexist with human driven vehicles. Thus, there is …

About a century ago, private vehicles started being massively introduced into western
societies. Several decades later preventing and/or mitigating adverse effects of this mobility …

In this paper, the potential effects of automated driving that are relevant to policy and society
are explored, findings discussed in literature about those effects are reviewed and areas for …

The emergence of automated vehicles may have significant impacts on traffic flow. While
many studies suggest that fully automated vehicles can improve traffic flow by changing their …

Automated vehicles (AVs) are believed to have great potential to improve the traffic capacity
and efficiency of the current transport systems. Despite positive findings of the impact of AVs …

The impacts of autonomous vehicles, coupled with greater inter-vehicle and system
connectivity, may be far-reaching on several levels. They entail changes to (1) the demand …

Abstract The introduction of Automated Vehicles (AVs) into the transportation network is
expected to improve system performance, but the impacts of AVs in mixed traffic streams …

Automation may be assumed to have a beneficial impact on traffic flow efficiency. However,
the relationship between automation and traffic flow efficiency is complex because behavior …

Automated vehicles (AVs) have emerged rapidly in recent years, becoming a focus of high
expectations and heated debates. Advocates argue that the arrival of AVs will make driving …
