SESSION DESCRIPTION AND AGENDA
In the existing literature, models without empirical evidence/validation tended to support the positive impacts of AVs. However, recent field experiments of commercial ACC systems showed negative impacts on flow stability and capacity. This inconsistency may hinder the further development of AV technologies. This session aims to identify the major reason causing this discrepancy and how to close the gap.
