Automated vehicles may increase roadway capacity, improve traffic flow stability, and speed up the outflow from a queue (1). The functionalities of automated systems have been gradually introduced into the market, such as in the case of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The ACC assists drivers in maintaining a desired speed and time headway, therefore influencing substantially the performance of the driving task. On-road studies have shown potential safety benefits of ACC systems that are inactive at low speeds when they are activated (2-5). In certain traffic situations, drivers may prefer to disengage ACC and resume manual control (6). These transitions between automation and manual driving are called control transitions (7) and may influence considerably traffic flow efficiency (8) and safety (9). Recently, full-range ACC systems that can operate in dense traffic have been introduced into the market. These ACC systems are more likely to be active in dense traffic conditions and have a positive impact on traffic flow efficiency To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:6f18f1f8-b512-4c95-bcdd-3a0988c7d98e Publisher Transportation Research Board (TRB) Embargo date 2018-07-11 Source Transportation Research Board Conference Proceedings 2018 Event TRB 2018: 97th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, 2018-01-07 → 2018-01-11, Walter E.
