Evaluation of Service Reliability Impacts of Traffic Signal Priority Strategies for Bus Transit
Recent progress in technology has facilitated the design, testing, and deployment of traffic signal priority strategies for transit buses. However, a clear consensus has not emerged regarding the evaluation of these strategies. Each agency implementing these strategies can have differing goals, and there are often conflicting issues, needs, and concerns among the various stakeholders. This rese...
متن کاملBus transit service reliability: Understanding the impacts of overlapping bus service on headway delays and determinants of bus bunching
To retain and attract new riders, transit agencies are frequently in search for ways to improve system reliability. Transit agencies typically operate several routes that partially or fully overlay (or overlap) one another in order to offer a better service coverage to reach various destinations. While previous research has focused on understanding the general factors that impact headway adhere...
متن کاملComprehensive Evaluation of Transit Signal Priority System Impacts Using Field Observed Traffic Data
To improve the level of service for Community Transit (CT) buses, the South Snohomish Regional Transit Signal Priority (SS-RTSP) project was launched. To understand the overall benefit of this project, the SS-RTSP system was tested and evaluated after the hardware and software had been installed on the 164 th Street SW corridor (Phase One) and the SR 99 corridor (Phase Two) in Snohomish County,...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Impacts of Transit Signal Priority on Bus Bunching and Performance
150-250 words) Efficient and reliable public transit systems provide opportunities to reduce congestion, emissions in urban areas and provide access and mobility to residents. Headway, or the time difference between departing or arriving vehicles, is a useful measure to gauge bus transit performance; because short headways can lead to bus bunching incidents that quickly degrade transit level of...
متن کاملReal-Time Traffic Signal Intelligent Control with Transit-Priority
This paper proposes a real-time traffic signal intelligent control method with transit-priority. The objective of this control method is to reduce the delays of passengers and special vehicles. Transit-priority is divided into the special transit-priority which is an absolute priority and the normal transit-priority which is a relative priority. When the detectors in the red phase detect specia...
