- 3. A technique to provide priority to public transport services through traffic lights. A means to improve the performance of public transportation systems at the operational level. A strategy aiming at reducing travel times and improving bus service reliability. When properly designed for BRTs it can complement their other features such as exclusive bus lanes, off-vehicle fare collection, all-door boarding, etc., and potentially contribute to improved system performance.
- 4. Types of Priority • Unconditional-priority is always provided • Conditional-priority is provided only when certain conditions are met (schedule adherence, vehicle load, etc.) TSP Actions With traditional signal controllers, the actions that can be used when a vehicle is detected are: • Extension of the current green interval Early start of the green interval Skipping a phase • Inserting an extra phase
- 5. Automated Passenger Counting Records (APC) Automatic Vehicle Location Records (AVL) Signal Timing Traffic count studies/O-D Matrix from Planning Model Vehicle Specifications
- 6. Traffic Data 1. Road network-coded or from a geographic file 2. Traffic Flows- turning movements inputted from traffic counts or O/D matrix generated with Cube Analyst 3. Signal Timing Plans
