An Assessment Methodology for Emergency Vehicle Traffic Signal Priority Systems
Emergency vehicle traffic signal priority systems allow emergency vehicles such as fire and emergency medical vehicles to request and receive a green traffic signal indication when approaching an intersection. Such systems have been around for a number of years, however, there is little …

Evaluation of Service Reliability Impacts of Traffic Signal Priority Strategies for Bus Transit
… 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 …

Benefits of emerging transportation technologies : simulation analysis and policy issues
… element of such quantification and analysis is traffic simulation. MITSIMLab, a microscopic traffic simulator, has been recently enhanced to replicate transportation technologies and applications such as traffic signal priority and advanced vehicle location for transit. In addition, the existing …

Transit preferential treatment : a public policy-making perspective
… innovative policies in order to give the full priority to transit. Preferential treatment is a broad definition that combines all the means to insure that priority is given to transit (queue jump, traffic signal priority, exclusive lane, tramways ...). The main concerns about Zurich and …

Assessing the Performance of an Emergency Vehicle Preemption System: A Case Study on U.S. 1 in Fairfax County, Virginia
Highway traffic control systems have been deployed to provide emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) at signalized intersections. Industry and transportation researchers have worked to develop analytical methods to establish the degree of benefit of emergency vehicle preemption to the emergency vehicle …

A Framework and Analytical Methods for Evaluation of Preferential Treatment for Emergency and Transit Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
… for emergency vehicles (EV) and conditional priority for transit vehicles at signalized intersections. EV preemption employs technologies and signal control strategies seeking to reduce emergency vehicle crash potential and response times. Transit priority employs the same technologies with …

Towards the Development of a Decision Support System for Emergency Vehicle Preemption and Transit Signal Priority Investment Planning
… are making it possible to deploy advanced traffic signal controllers capable of integrating emergency vehicle preemption and transit priority operations. However, investment planning for such an integrated system is not a trivial task. Investment planning for such a system requires a …
