Change in Microscopic Traffic Simulation Practice with Respect to the Emerging Automated Driving Technology

It is believed that autonomous vehicles will replace conventional human drive in the next decades due to emerging driving technology, which definitely bring a massive transformation road transport sector. Due high complexity of traffic systems, efficient simulation models for assessment this disruptive change are critical. The objective paper justify common practice microscopic needs thorough revision and modification when it applied with presence order get realistic results. Two high-fidelity simulators (SUMO VISSIM) were show sensitivity automated vehicle’s behavior. evaluation indicators (average travel time average speed) selected quantitatively evaluate macro-traffic performance changes behavior parameters (gap acceptance) caused by technologies under different demand conditions.
