Category : Bus lines
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Although signal priority has proven to be an effective tool for reducing delays to buses, this technique is not always beneficial to the overall traffic network. Providing priority for transit vehicles along a corridor with a large number of transit vehicles can cause a coordinated network to be out of step resulting in an overall increase in delay. Bus signal priority also has the disadvantage of penalizing the cross-street traffic when high transit volumes exist at the corridor. The objectives of the research described in this report is to assess the impacts of and the implementation issues associated with the use of bus signal priority in New Jersey and to assess the benefit and costs of signal priority.
Bus and Rail Transit Preferential Treatments in Mixed Traffic

Transit Street Design Guide
Author: National Association of City Transportation OfficialsPublisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1610917472
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
"The Transit Street Design Guide sets a new vision for how cities can harness the immense potential of transit to create active and efficient streets in neighborhoods and downtowns alike. Building on the Urban Street Design Guide and Urban Bikeway Design Guide, the Transit Street Design Guide details how reliable public transportation depends on a commitment to transit at every level of design. Developed through a new peer network of NACTO members and transit agency partners, the Guide provides street transportation departments, transit operating agencies, leaders, and practitioners with the tools to actively prioritize transit on the street."--Site Web de NACTO.
Traffic Signal Timing Manual
Author: U.s. Department of TransportationPublisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781508557173
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
This report serves as a comprehensive guide to traffic signal timing and documents the tasks completed in association with its development. The focus of this document is on traffic signal control principles, practices, and procedures. It describes the relationship between traffic signal timing and transportation policy and addresses maintenance and operations of traffic signals. It represents a synthesis of traffic signal timing concepts and their application and focuses on the use of detection, related timing parameters, and resulting effects to users at the intersection. It discusses advanced topics briefly to raise awareness related to their use and application. The purpose of the Signal Timing Manual is to provide direction and guidance to managers, supervisors, and practitioners based on sound practice to proactively and comprehensively improve signal timing. The outcome of properly training staff and proactively operating and maintaining traffic signals is signal timing that reduces congestion and fuel consumption ultimately improving our quality of life and the air we breathe. This manual provides an easy-to-use concise, practical and modular guide on signal timing. The elements of signal timing from policy and funding considerations to timing plan development, assessment, and maintenance are covered in the manual. The manual is the culmination of research into practices across North America and serves as a reference for a range of practitioners, from those involved in the day to day management, operation and maintenance of traffic signals to those that plan, design, operate and maintain these systems.

Assessing the Benefits and Costs of ITS
Author: David GillenPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402078749
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
The 17 chapters in this book, which evolved from a conference on measuring the contributions of ITS sponsored by the California Department of Transportation in February 2002, examine the costs and benefits of ITS in an economic and business policy context. Section 1 examines the broad theme of how and what ITS contributes to the economy and how one makes a business case for ITS. Section 2 includes three chapters on ITS applications in mass transit. Section 3 explores ITS applications in the automobile/highway system. Section 4 considers integrative issues including how ITS is perceived and how it can be positioned to improve surface transportation. This volume will be especially useful to researchers and policy makers working in transportation, transportation engineering, and the economic analysis of transportation systems.
