An important aspect of automated driving is to handle situations where it fails or is not allowed in specific traffic situations. This case study explores means, by which control transitions in a mixed autonomy system can be organized in order to minimize their adverse impact on traffic flow. We assess a number of different approaches for a coordinated management of transitions, covering classic traffic management paradigms and AI-driven controls. We demonstrate that they yield excellent results when compared to a do-nothing scenario. This text further details a model for control transitions that is the basis for the simulation study presented. The results encourage the deployment of reinforcement learning on the control problem for a scenario with mandatory take-over requests.
