An Approach for Handling Uncertainties Related to Behaviour and Vehicle Mixes in Traffic Simulation Experiments with Automated Vehicles

Figure 1

Illustration of the Rail-safe driving logic for road following (a), prohibited lane-changing (b), and left-turning (c). To allow left-turning for a Rail-safe logic, the road needs to be clearly marked and a traffic light inserted with a dedicated aspect for the automated vehicle left-turning which can even turn left from the right lane at this point (d).
