Calibration of HCM's Capacity Adjustment Factors (CAFs) Utilizing Multi-Scale Longitudinal and Lateral Automated Vehicle Trajectories

To prevent severe investment risks, this project will empirically calibrate the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) using real-world data for accurate, reality-based planning. Federal law requires 20-year highway traffic forecasts, but agencies lack verified data on how automated vehicles (AVs) impact flow.
