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

Recommended driving behaviour parameters for lane change in Vissim.

Behavioural functionality	Driving logic
	Rail-safe	Cautious	Normal	All-knowing	Def
Advance merging	n.a.	On/off	On	On	On
Cooperative lane change	n.a.	On/off	On	On	Off
Safety distance reduction factor	n.a.	1 + EABD	0.6	0.75	0.6
Min. headway (front/rear)	n.a.	1	0.5	0.5	0.5
Max. deceleration for cooperative braking	n.a.	−2.5	−3	−6	−3

Depends on technical equipment and implemented connectivity and cooperation functions. EABD (enforce absolute breaking distance) must be on. If the AV cannot detect that the other vehicle wants to change lanes, the value should be off/zero. n.a. = not applicable.
