Abstract
The activity based theory of traffic flow is applied to evaluate highway capacity for four different concepts of automated vehicles in the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane of the Houston Katy Highway. Three increasing patterns of traffic demand are considered. SmartCap, a meso-scale software tool developed in the California PATH program, was used to simulate the highway behavior. Simulation results are discussed
