Heterogeneous project is a collaboration between VTI, Chalmers, Volvo AB and Volvo Cars to study the coupling relationship between different automated driving behaviours and manual driving behaviour. The aim of Heterogenous project is to develop methods for evaluating the safety and traffic flow impact when autonomous vehicles mix with manually driven vehicles.

In the pre-study funded by SAFER, we intended to summarize part of the results in the Heterogenous project into a scientific publication. The resulting paper investigates if and how human drivers adapt their driving behavior, and how the behavior adaptation effects traffic safety. A paper was submitted to a well-known international conference, IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Conference 2022 (expected notification of acceptance April 10th, 2022).
