| 摘要： | Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a flexible, high performance rapid transit mode that uses buses or specialized rubber tired-based vehicles operating on pavement, and combines a variety of physical, operating, and system elements into a permanently integrated system. Because of its benefits and lower costs, Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has decided to begin BRT implementations in Salt Lake County, where a total of 106 miles of BRT lines are planned for construction and implementation in future years. Transit Signal Priority (TSP) usually supports BRT operations. TSP provides priority for transit vehicles on signalized intersections along a main corridor. Many studies and implementations have proven its efficiency. On the other hand, providing priority along the main corridor has impacts on other vehicular traffic. For each TSP implementation, it is very important that the optimum balance between the priority provided to transit vehicles be weighed against the negative impacts on vehicular traffic. This research evaluates BRT and TSP implementations along 5600 West Street in Salt Lake County through micro-simulation. |
