MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF THE BUS PRIORITY IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract: Bus is expected to
play an important role in providing a reliable travel in congested conditions.
Therefore, it has been widely studied to minimize the travel time and the delay
of the bus by proposing bus priority scheme to increase the attractiveness of
public transport against private vehicles. Signal timing optimization combined
with the bus priority scheme are discussed in this research as the alternatives
to improve the intersection performances. Further, identifying the effects of
these alternatives towards the general vehicles and public transport system
performances were the aims of this research as well.
As the result of this research, bus advance area with pre-signal method
is able to reduce the travel time and delay of the bus for routes 2A and 3A by
11%, 23% and 14% , 0% respectively and able to reduce travel time, delay, and
queue of vehicles by 25%, 26%, 7% consecutively. Thus bus advance area with
pre-signal method is proposed as the best alternative due to its impact to
reduce the bus travel times and delay without degrading the other vehicles
performance.
