Traffic signal priority control is a new concept for the metro Atlanta area. The implementation of this signal priority control system for buses is a result of several years of planning, traffic signal construction, software development, and bus retrofitting. DeKalb County partners in the project were the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), the Georgia Department of Transportation Temple and 3M. The implementation of the traffic signal priority control system was DeKalb County's first Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) project. It has been difficult yet rewarding. While there have been similar types of signal priority control projects for buses implemented in the past, this type of priority control is the first of its kind to be implemented in the United States. This system is the first to be installed on a regular commuter, non express bus route. |
