    This paper addresses the challenge of improving decision-making capabilities and safety in autonomous vehicles (AVs) using Agent-Based Modelling (ABM). The study evaluates ABM’s effect on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs) in challenging driving situations, like lane merging, by incorporating it into a simulation framework designed for autonomous vehicles. Identifying emergent behaviours that enhance safety and efficiency, verifying the efficacy of ABM in AV decision-making, and investigating the function of hardware acceleration to enable practical application in ADASs are some of the major achievements. According to the simulation results, ABM can greatly improve AV performance, providing a practical and scalable means of enhancing safety in future transportation systems.
