Abstract
Automated Vehicle Guidance (AVG) systems are systems in which driving tasks are supported or taken over partly or entirely by an automated system. The reported benefits of AVG systems involve improvements of road traffic performance, safety, and comfort. The research described in this report has the following objective: to describe the existing state of knowledge with respect to the interaction between automated, AVG supported vehicles and manually driven vehicles. The description focuses on the traffic effects of the interaction between automated and manually driven vehicles, and more precisely on the effect of this interaction on the maximum achievable capacity.
