Autonomous vehicles will transform urban mobility. However, before being fully implemented, autonomous vehicles will navigate cities in mixed-traffic roads, negotiating traffic with human-driven vehicles. In this work, we simulate a system of autonomous vehicles co-existing with human-driven vehicles, analyzing the consequences of system design choices. The system consists of a network of arterial roads with exclusive lanes for autonomous vehicles where they can travel in platoons. This paper presents the evaluation of this system in realistic scenarios evaluating the impacts of the system on travel time using mesoscopic traffic simulation. We used real data from the metropolis of São Paulo to create the simulation scenarios. The results show that the proposed system would bring reductions to the average travel time of the city commuters and other benefits such as the reduction of the space required to handle all the traffic.

自动驾驶汽车将改变城市的出行方式。但是，在全面实施之前，自动驾驶汽车将在混合交通道路上通行城市，并与人力车辆进行交通协商。在这项工作中，我们模拟了自动驾驶汽车与人类驾驶汽车共存的系统，分析了系统设计选择的后果。该系统由主干道网络和专用车道组成，这些专用道可在自动驾驶车上行驶。本文介绍了在实际场景中使用介观交通模拟评估该系统对旅行时间的影响的系统评估。我们使用了来自圣保罗大都市的真实数据来创建模拟方案。
