Comprehensive Review of Traffic Modeling: Towards Autonomous Vehicles.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to revolutionize transportation by offering safer, more efficient, and convenient mobility solutions. As AV technology advances, there is a growing need to understand and model traffic dynamics in environments where AVs interact with human-driven vehicles. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the modeling techniques used to simulate and analyze autonomous vehicle traffic. It covers the fundamental principles of AVs, key factors influencing traffic dynamics, various modeling approaches, their applications, challenges, and future directions in AV traffic modeling.
