Accurate modeling of lower-level controller plays an important role in the traffic flow of automated vehicles (AVs). However, there lacks enough attention with this respect. To address this issue, we conduct a field experiment with two vehicles that are equipped with developable autonomous driving system, where one can customize the upper-level control algorithm. Based on the field experimental data, two new lower-level control models are developed and compared with two widely used ones. The comparison results show that the proposed models outperform the two previous models in capturing the observed actual acceleration, especially the troughs of the acceleration time series. Furthermore, theoretical analysis indicates that comparing with the proposed models, the two previous models significantly overestimate the stability region of the traffic flow of the AVs and the capacity of stable traffic flow. Our study is expected to further shed light on the importance of accurate lower-level control modeling.
