Bus transit priority at traffic signals has been used in many cities worldwide and is becoming increasingly accepted as a way in which bus operations can be improved, complementing other measures such as bus lanes and auto mated ticketing arrangements. One of the reasons why the use of bus pri...

Bus priority at traffic signals is a growing area of cooperative transport system applications. Interest in bus priority continues to grow as the cities pay more attention to the needs of buses to provide fast, frequent, and reliable services, thus contributing to a sustainable transport system. ...

Early in 1978 West Glamorgan County Council introduced a scheme for giving buses priority in Central Swansea. Using selective detection (SD) equipment, buses approaching traffic signals are detected separately from other vehicles and the signal operation may then be modified to reduce their delay. Par...
In this paper, bus priority within traffic signal control strategy is studied and the mathe matical model of control is established, the optimal performance of the model is to minimize the total delay time of passengers. Comparing with the case of no such traffic signal control priority of bu...
Active bus priority at traffic signals in London, using selective detection, has been extended recently from isolated signals within Urban Traffic Control (UTC) areas. Facilities for bus priority in SCOOT were developed in the European Commission funded PROMPT project and have been successfully trialle...
With the emergence of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, there has been a renewed interest in the bus priority signal (BPS). However, at present there is no model capable of simulating various BPS strategies and then restoring the original signal settings after bus preemption is...
One favoured measure is bus priority at traffic signals, particularly where roadspace is limited and traffic signal density is high. As bus fleets are increasingly equipped with satellite-based Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems, it is now possible to provide differential priority, where ...
Introduction This leaflet is one in a series about SCOOT and should be read in conjunction with Advice Leaflet 1. It expands some of the information provided in the general guidance on the SCOOT Urban Traffic Control System. The priority techniques discussed here are normally used by buses,bu...
