This study focuses on network configurations to accommodate automated vehicles (AVs) on road networks during the transition period to full automation. The literature suggests that dedicated infrastructure for AVs and enhanced infrastructure for mixed traffic (i.e., AVs on the same lanes with conventional vehicles) are the main alternatives so far.

Developing standard pedestrian-equivalent factors: passenger car–equivalent approach for dealing with pedestrian diversity [PDF]
Similar to vehicular traffic, pedestrians, despite having diverse capabilities and body sizes, can be classified as heterogeneous. The use of vehicular traffic resolves the diversity issue with a conversion of heterogeneous vehicle flow into an ...

Delay-based Passenger Car Equivalent at Signalized Intersections in Iran
Due to their different sizes and operational characteristics, vehicles other than passenger cars have a different influence on traffic operations especially at intersections.

Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) is a conversion rate that can be used to convert the unit of any variety of vehicles to be Passenger Car Unit (PCU). The PCE value on MKJI (Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual) is considered having a longer time span compared with what we own today, therefore the renewal of the PCE value is needed.

Dedicated lanes, tolls and ITS technology [PDF]
The merits of separating cars and trucks have long been debated. Potential advantages include smoother traffic flows, lower accident rates, improved air quality and reduced maintenance and road infrastructure costs.

Abstract This paper presents a bi‐level model to optimize automated‐vehicle‐friendly subnetworks in urban road networks and an efficient algorithm to solve the model, which is relevant for the transition period with vehicles of different automation levels.

Calibrating the passenger car equivalent on Italian two line highways: a case study
The Level Of Service (LOS) of a road infrastructure, a concept introduced for the first time in the Highway Capacity Manual (second edition), is defined as the ‘qualitative measure of traffic conditions and their perception by users’.

Passenger Car Equivalents for Heavy Vehicles at Roundabouts. a Synthesis Review
Passenger Car Equivalents (PCEs in the following) are used to transform a mixed fleet of vehicles into a fleet of equivalent passenger cars and to analyze capacity and level-of-service of roads and intersections.
