Description
Hello! This mod edits the traffic_data definition file in an effort to adjust the AI driving behavior to be more realistic.
In my game, I have noticed that AI vehicles will often go out of their way in an effort to hit you, such as slamming on the brakes, merging into you, willingly driving into you for no reason etc.
This is my edit to make the behavior more realistic, as I've found the default AI behavior to be rather immersion breaking at times, and downright frustrating. This mod was created on and will work with the 1.53 and 1.54 branch and will be continuously updated for new versions. Compatible with traffic density mods, and other mods can be higher in the load order than this one. Thanks and please let me know if you have any feedback :)

@Desperado: I think that gets into spawning, and the one file in this mod does not modify that, afaik.

If you load this *before* <other ai traffic mod> the safety settings will override the settings in the one file this mod has in it.

Had this mod on for about 4-6 in game hours and noticed no change in ai behavior.

Hi, is it possible to modify the mod so that traffic gets heavier the closer you get to cities and less as you leave them? Also in smaller cities. A few more small trucks, vans, and cars.
Thanks in advance – good mod, by the way.

It's not at al unusual for an ai vehicle to come off a cloverleaf, and just keep going into the other half of it straight ahead of it, rather than merge into traffic? I see this, and things like coming off a diamond interchange, and then just crossing straight to the onramp, rather than turning left or right. Is this usual for unmodded behavior, or is it responding to the increased safety factor in the traffic_data file in this mod? Just curious if unmodded ai traffic does this, too...?

Agreed. I'm also still using the ETS2 version on 1.55 just grafting in the guts from this one
