Bus Priority Procedure for Signalized Intersections Based on Bus Occupancy and Delay

Learn about an innovative research study presented in a 21-minute video that explores a sophisticated bus prioritization strategy for signalized intersections. Dive into a framework that moves beyond traditional first-come-first-served principles to incorporate both bus delay and occupancy factors. Examine how the system implements a 25-level hierarchy for bus prioritization and utilizes four degrees of intervention to adjust signal cycles. Understand the advanced Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) prediction system that accounts for historical speed data, travel times, and bus stop locations. Follow along as the researchers demonstrate their findings through SUMO microscopic traffic simulations in Ingolstadt's subnetwork, revealing significant travel time improvements for high-priority buses (up to 87% reduction) while analyzing the trade-offs for lower-priority vehicles. Discover how this vehicle-to-infrastructure communication-compatible system could revolutionize public transport reliability and attractiveness in urban environments.
