One research area within the development of automated vehicles deals with the impact analysis on traffic flow by numerical simulation. This study investigates human drivers’ acceptance while interacting with different levels of automated vehicles on highways including on- and off-ramps. Reactions between conventional, human driven vehicles (CV) and automated vehicles (AV) were tested using a driving simulator. Gaps and headways between vehicles were recorded and analyzed. The analysis indicates similar behavior between CVs and aggressive AVs (short headways) while prudent AVs were perceived less favorable by the test drivers. Additionally, long headways showed more disturbance in traffic flow than shorter headway setups of the automatic distance control (ACC).
