Recognize Limitations in Passive Radio Frequency Identification Tag Reading Distance and Driving Speed When Selecting Technologies for Traffic Sign Asset Management.

When developing transit signal priority (TSP) systems, consider using traffic simulation models as a cost-effective means of comparing the impacts of different TSP strategies on transit and non-transit vehicle travel time.

Planning, deploying and evaluating transit signal priority (TSP) systems is a complex undertaking involving multiple factors, including the impact on non-transit traffic, pedestrian safety, the…

Taxonomy (ARC-IT) Transit Signal Priority (PT09)

Deploying transit signal priority systems may reduce transit bus delay in Burlington, Vermont by 14.2 to 16.5 percent on Route 15 and by 2.5 to 7 percent on the Old North Route, without producing delays for non-priority traffic.

METHODOLOGYVISSIM, a micro-simulation modeling tool, was used by researchers to evaluate the impact of TSP on bus travel time in Burlington, Vermont. The research assessed the impacts of transit…
