摘要: This paper provides an overview of implementation activities for transit oriented traffic signal priority operations in Columbus, Ohio. The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), City of Columbus, and Mid- Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) are moving forward with plans to introduce transit priority operations along major transit routes in the COTA service area. The agencies have worked together to develop an efficient transit priority scheme that begins with an implementation of 32 intersections along one major corridor (North High Street), and is expandable to cover most bus corridors in the City without extensive roadside or in-vehicle hardware investment. The concept involves the use of continuous Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) monitoring for COTA buses, connectivity of the AVL system with the Citys Metropolitan Traffic Control System (MTCS), and the use of standardized communications between the MTCS and modern local traffic controllers.
