Modelling the behaviour of automated vehicles requires an understanding of the acceptance towards certain behaviours by the human cooperation partners. This work addresses the evaluation of two communication means on the motorway slip road from the perspective of drivers in the target lane. In a video study (N = 68) two implicit communication means (position and duration of lane change) were investigated. The cooperation partner is either a manual vehicle or a car labelled as automated by a status eHMI. The results show no significant differences in the cooperation and criticality ratings between non-automated or automated cooperation partners. A slow lane change is rated as less critical and more cooperative. A non-linear relationship emerges for the position of the change. A change in the middle of the slip road is rated most cooperative and least critical.
