Transit signal priority strategies : impacts and effects of various factors
A Transit Signal Priority (TSP) system’s fundamental job is to give priority to transit vehicles enabling faster passage through signalized intersections. Through a system that responds to transit vehicles approaching an intersection, green phase extension or red truncation is granted to minimize …

Evaluation of bus priority strategies for BRT operations
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) uses strategies such as exclusive bus lanes, off-vehicle fare collection, high quality vehicles and stations, signal priority, among others. Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is frequently seen as an option to improve performance of public transportation systems at the …

Design and evaluation of BRT and limited-stop services
Many transit agencies operate limited-stop or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services overlapped with local services in corridors with high demand. These service strategies have the potential to improve bus performance as well as service quality. However, the implementation of these service strategies may …

A New Methodology for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Bus Rapid Transit Strategies
… these, innovative solutions, such as bus rapid transit (BRT), can provide an increased level of service without having to resort to other, more expensive modes, such as light rail transit (LRT) and metro systems (subways). Transit signal priority (TSP), which provides priority to approaching …
