VEGAS - Quality assessment of traffic flow for automated driving on motorway

VEGAS looks at the capacity impact on the ASFINAG motorway network generated by automated driving for SAE-levels 2-4. Personal transport by cars and freight transport by trucks are considered.The following questions will be adressed for different market penetration and SAE level: - Change in travel speeds - Change of network density and link capacity - Adaption between automated and conventional vehicles especially in incident cases such as congestion and accident - Impact of automated driving on capacity of interchanges and entries with subordinate atgrade junctions - macroscopic evaluation of shorter breaks at rest-areas
