Improve passenger information accuracy and reduce redundant hardware without overwhemling communications capacity, by integrating adaptive traffic signal priorty and dynamic passenger information systems into existing AVL/ACS systems on transit vehic

MethodologyThe ATSP/DPI was integrated with a cell phone based emulation of the ACS since this was only a test project and integration with the actual ACS system was not feasible. This system was…

Implementation of an adaptive transit signal priority system resulted in 5 percent reductions in running time and 18 to 32 percent reductions in bus intersection delays in San Mateo County.

The ATSP system prioritizes the type of signal priority based on the data collected from the AVL system, which determines if priority is necessary, and if so, if elongating the green will be…

Transit signal priority detection systems range from $2,500 to $40,000 per intersection and $50 to $2,500 per vehicle, depending on the type of detection used.

Background Transit preferential treatments have been deployed across the United States and around the world in order to improve travel times and reliability of bus and light rail routes. Examples of…
