This chapter describes analyses of the traffic impacts of connected and automated vehicles under multiple scenarios. Section 9.2 describes how automated vehicles can be integrated into the traditional four-step planning process, including mode and route choice, using static traffic assignment. Section 9.3 shows how dynamic traffic flow models can represent capacity increases from closer following headways and reservationbased smart intersection control. Section 9.4 describes two traffic simulation models developed in this research project: the Autonomous Intersection Management microsimulator and a simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment application, as well as results from simulating arterial, freeway, and city networks. Finally, Section 9.5 discusses the traffic impacts of shared automated vehicles.
