1. A method of mode switching for an automated vehicle (AV), the method comprising:
providing an AV identification detector at an entrance of an automated driving lane;
sending a mode switching request from an AV to a road design and traffic control system;
determining by the AV identification detector if the AV meets a requirement for switching from a human-driven mode to an automated driving mode; and
controlling by a connected and automated vehicle highway (CAVH) system the AV to accelerate or decelerate through the buffer zone to the automated lane.
