Popis: Traffic and transport researchers, policymakers, and vehicle manufacturers are interested in investigating the implications and the influence of autonomous vehicles (AV) because a gradual deployment of such new technologies is expected to take place in the future. This research investigates the impacts of the AVs emergence on traffic performance for the city of Budapest in three future traffic scenarios with different AV market replacement rates for the year 2030. The network was modeled using simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment in PTV Visum software. Four traffic performance parameters were analyzed to explore the impacts of AV's emergence on the network. The results showed noticeable improvements among the four investigated traffic performance parameters.
