Bus Signal Priority Enhancing Transit Efficiency.pdf

Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is an advanced traffic management system designed to provide special treatment and reduce dwell time for transit vehicles such as buses, rapid transit vehicles, railroad cars, water vehicles, municipal vehicles, law enforcement, and fire safety vehicles at signalized intersections.
How Bus Signal Priority Works
A TSP system requires specific hardware, including vehicle detectors and specialized traffic signal controllers. These components work together to prioritize transit vehicles at intersections, ensuring they spend less time waiting at red lights and more time moving efficiently through traffic by Bus Signal Priority.

Key Benefits of Bus Signal Priority
Reduced Dwell Time: Transit vehicles spend less time stopped at
intersections, improving overall travel times.
Enhanced Efficiency: Buses and other prioritized vehicles can maintain
schedules more effectively, benefiting passengers.
Improved Traffic Flow: By prioritizing transit vehicles, TSP can help
reduce congestion and improve the overall flow of traffic.

4. Components of a TSP System
Vehicle Detectors: Sensors that detect the presence of transit vehicles
approaching an intersection.
Specialized Traffic Signal Controllers: Controllers that adjust the timing of
traffic signals to prioritize transit vehicles, ensuring they receive green
lights when needed.

5. Conclusion:
Transit Signal Priority systems are essential for improving the efficiency and reliability of
public transit. By strategically implementing these systems, cities can ensure that transit
vehicles move more smoothly through traffic, reducing delays and enhancing the overall
transit experience for passengers.
