abstract = {Engineering Power: Bulletin of the Croatian Academy of
Engineering, Vol. 19 No. 4, 2024The German road haulage
industry is currently facing a shortage of drivers, which is
expected to increase in the future as freight volumes grow.
In the long term, automated vehicles are expected to become
part of road transport operations, reducing the demand for
drivers and alleviating the driver shortage. During the
transition period to full automation, partially automated
trucks, which operate without a driver in certain areas and
require a driver in others, will become the dominant mode of
transportation. This paper examines how much driver demand
could be reduced through partial automation. In terms of
pure driving time, automated freeway driving reduces the
demand for human drivers by about $60\%.$ When
loading/unloading time is added, the potential savings range
from $25\%$ to $41\%.$ The greatest savings are on
long-distance trips, where a greater proportion of the trip
is spent driving on freeways. The reduction in driver demand
is sufficient to offset current driver shortage estimates.},
