Transit Priority Measures at Unsignalized Intersections
… of these intersections. In addition, existing transit priority strategies were heavily focused on arterial corridors, leaving the UI case with limited or no options to prioritize buses. As transit agencies seek cost-effective solutions to improve transit reliability without imposing significant …

Towards the Development of a Decision Support System for Emergency Vehicle Preemption and Transit Signal Priority Investment Planning
… 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 holistic approach that considers institutional, technical and financial issues from a …

Leveraging spatial relationships and visualization to improve public transit performance analysis
Public transit agencies collect a tremendous amount of data in order to measure bus performance, including vehicle positions and passenger counts. These data are typically organized in the same way that the network is organized: split up by route, with each route further divided into stop-to-stop …

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 …
