Abstract: In order to study the benefits of the mixed traffic flow Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICV) and non-connected vehicles, aiming at the intelligent and connected characteristics of ICV. Through the microscopic traffic simulation software Vissim redevelopment, ICV having the function of intelligent connected vehicles traffic flow modeling is realized. The mixed traffic flow composed of intelligent connected vehicles and non-connected vehicles under different market penetration rates is simulated. By comparing the traffic benefits at different time periods and different penetration rates, it is found that with the increase of the market penetration rate of intelligent connected vehicles, the average speed of mixed traffic flow increases obviously and the average travel time decreases. Through the sensitivity analysis of traffic benefits during peak and non-peak periods, it is found that the benefits of intelligent connected vehicles on road traffic flow during peak periods are more significant than those during non-peak hours
