Autonomous vehicle (AV) deployment is accelerating, but AV behavior remains poorly understood. Infrastructure planners and operators lack confidence in forecasting how AVs will interact with existing infrastructure (e.g., traffic lights). Current studies focus mainly on car-following and lane-changing maneuvers on freeways and highways, with less s
