Signal Priority Control for Emergency Vehicle Operation

Emergency Vehicle is one of the rescue resources in a city. It is important to ensure safe and rapid emergency operations in case of emergency calls. This paper presents a signal priority control strategy for emergency vehicle operations in urban roads. The preset plans are discussed first to provide an optimal route considering the one-way coordinated signal setting, which focuses on the green...

Modelling and Simulation of Cooperative Control for Bus Rapid Transit Vehicle Platoon in a Connected Vehicle Environment

The aim of this paper is to develop a cooperative control model for improving the operational efficiency of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicles. The model takes advantage of the emerging connected vehicle technology. A connected vehicle centre is established to assign a specific reservation time interval and transmit the corresponding dynamic speed guidance to each BRT vehicle. Furthermore, a set ...

Bus Rapid Transit: An Overview

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is growing in popularity throughout the world. The reasons for this phenomenon include its passenger and developer attractiveness, its high performance and quality, and its ability to be built quickly, incrementally, and economically. BRT also provides sufficient transport capacity to meet demands in many corridors, even in the largest metropolitan regions. In the United...
