Overview
Background & policy context:
The priority of public transport at traffic lights has to carry a great importance because of the ability of tram and bus stops, many people with few vehicles under traffic-directing measures. The privileging of public transport at traffic signals is therefore shortly when "benefit of traffic lights "(SN 640 833), at the "phase separation" at (SN 640 834) and the "estimating the efficiency of traffic signals" (SN 640 835) have been treated.
The research will now go to the full privileges of public transport at traffic lights under traffic-directing measures:
- The acquisition of public transport
- The modifications of the signal times the arrival of public transport, with or without self-alignment
- The influence of privilege on the waiting times for public transport
- The influence of privilege on performance individual traffic
- The influence of privilege on the coordination of traffic individual
- A survey of people waiting for public transport, the traffic and the pedestrian individual stock of the exhaust emissions
Objectives:
The project has following objectives:
- to develop and set the methods and benefits of privileged public transport at traffic signals
- to provide a research report
- to prepare a first draft standard
Methodology:
The basics of privileging of public transport signalling systems to light treats the research report in six working steps:
- The detection of public transport at traffic signals
- The species degree of preference can increase up to zero waiting times,
- The sizing of Chen traffic factors, government public traffic serve the determination of withdrawal periods and storage of individual traffic in the privileging determining privilege.
- The privileging of public transport, which the green times at the privileging of the public
- In the waiting times for public transport
- For the sizing of the green times when privileging
