Evaluation of Transit Priority Treatments in Tennessee
| 项目名称： | Evaluation of Transit Priority Treatments in Tennessee |
| 摘要： | Many cities are increasingly implementing transit friendly corridors especially in urban areas. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) corridors are cited to be associated with plentiful benefits to community livability including less environmental impacts and fewer traffic congestions, fewer vehicular accidents and shorter travel times among others when compared to traditional Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) corridors. This study desires to evaluate through microsimulation the impact of bus priority signals (BPS) and queue jump (QJ) treatments at approximately selected corridors in Nashville with the objective of evaluating how BPS and QJ improve on-time service reliability and bus travel times as part of TOD. This will respond to the problems currently faced in Tennessee and Nashville metropolitan area in general that is experiencing worsening traffic congestion and, which is a side effect of s steady population growth. The study findings and recommendations are expected to be used for the development of transit supportive land use guidelines, policies and tools to support Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and corridor development. |
