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

Table 1

Specification of the driving logics envisioned for the three AV classes in the different road environments for cars.

Road type	Basic AV	Intermediate AV	Advanced AV
Motorway	Cautious	Normal	All-knowing
Arterial	Cautious	Cautious/Normal^1	All-knowing
Urban street	Manual	Cautious	Normal
Shared space	Manual	Rail-safe^2/Manual	Cautious

¹The Normal driving logic will only be possible if all conflicts between vehicles and active modes are separated, e.g., by separate phases in a traffic signal. ²It is questionable to what extent drivers would accept the Rail-safe logic driving in shared space due to the high “politeness” of the driving logic and the resulting low speed. Thus, it might from a traffic simulation point of view be more reasonable to assume manual driving.
