Automation may be assumed to have a beneficial impact on traffic flow efficiency. However, the relationship between automation and traffic flow efficiency is complex because behavior of road users influences this efficiency as well. This paper reviews what is known about the influence of automation on traffic flow efficiency and behavior of road users, formulates a theoretical framework, and identifies future research needs. It is concluded that automation can be assumed to have an influence on traffic flow efficiency and on the behavior of road users. The research has shortcomings, and in this context directions are formulated for future scientific research on automation in relation to traffic flow efficiency and human behavior.
