Abstract

The MICroscopic model for Simulation of Intelligent Cruise control (MIXIC) 1.3 was developed for studying the Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Control (AICC) impacts on a number of consecutive motorway stretches. MIXIC 1.3 contains detailed submodels describing drivers, vehicles, assisting systems and their interfaces. The model has been filled for 4 driver and 4 vehicle tupes. Passenger cars may be equipped with AICC. Drivers of these cars can switch their AICC on or off depending on the prevailing traffic conditions. This interaction model is motivated by the fact that first generation AICC systems are expected to have a limited deceleration range, and must be overruled by the driver if strong decelerations are required. The MIXIC output ranges from the possibility of recording vehicle/driver combinations to the measurement of aggregated traffic quantities and the occurrence and severity of shock waves. The model offers the possibility of narrowing situations and dedicated lanes for AICC vehicles. (A) See also IRRD 874631 and 898629.
