Traffic based evaluations of driver assistance systems have been performed in many research works. Highly automated driving is realized by a combination of lateral and longitudinal advanced driving assistance systems. Notably no attempt has been performed to evaluate this combination. This work introduces a novel approach to evaluate the impacts of highly automated driving in a microscopic traffic simulation environment. Furthermore, the impacts of this new technology are presented regarding the safety aspects.     «
