Abstract
Transit signal priority is a cost-effective way to improve transit operations and reliability. Connected vehicles provide more precise and detailed information on vehicle movements, thus can be beneficial to provide priority to public transportation. This paper proposes a transit signal priority algorithm using connected vehicle information. The algorithm can be adapted to situations without/with bus stops (both near-side and far-side). Moreover, it can minimize either signal delay or schedule delay for buses. Simulation is conducted for different volume to capacity ratios, bus arrivals, bus occupancies, and penetration rates. Results show that this algorithm successfully reduces the total passenger delay. It is also shown that this algorithm is not sensitive to the assumed bus passenger occupancy, hence does not require accurate information on bus occupancy. Overall, this algorithm seems rather promising as it significantly reduces the delay of buses with minimal increase to the delay of cars in the conflicting approach. Show more
