Abstract
In the literature, automated vehicle (AV) modeling studies tend to depict positive impacts of AV technologies on traffic. However, recent field experiments of production AVs (production vehicles with automated driving features) showed negative impacts on traffic flow stability and capacity. These inconsistencies may hinder the development and deployment of AV technologies. To identify major causes of the discrepancy, a breakout session was held at the 2022 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS). Leading researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies were invited to present their thoughts on the issue. This book chapter summarizes the essence of the presentations and discussions at the breakout session. It provides insights into the modeling and simulation of AVs, AV technology development, and traffic management in the era of AVs.
