Intersections are considered as the most critical parts of the bus rapid transit (BRT) system. Transit signal priority is one of the efficient solutions to reduce BRT fleet delays at intersections. The aim of this study is to propose a new algorithm to decrease the BRT fleet delays at actuated intersections, while reducing the negative impacts on different approaches. The adaptive strategy is a...

This paper describes the planner BRT (Biased Rapidlyexploring Tree). This planner is basically a Rapidlyexploring Random Tree (RRT) adapted to automated planning that employs Fast-Downward as the base planner. The novelty in this case is that it does not sample the search space in a random way; rather, it estimates which propositions are more likely to be achieved along some solution plan and u...

the present universities are deploying IPv6 campus network actively, protecting the existing investment and equipment need a gradual transition process safely. In order to achieve the fast communication between IPv4 /IPv6 hybrid network, a BRT three-dimensional interchange system is proposed. By introducing kinds of technologies and communication solutions in this paper, the system is realized ...

Since the 1970s great progress has been made to develop transit systems which provide service considerably better than buses can offer in mixed traffic, but which require significantly lower investment than metro systems with exclusive ways. This “semirapid transit” category of modes, using mostly partially separated ways, has been introduced extensively in medium-sized cities, as well as suppl...

BRT appears to be less expensive to build and operate than tram systems but can it really approach the performance level of a tram system and what is the environmental performance of comparable systems? This paper reports systematic research on these issues, particularly relating to where an urban transit system seeks to attract discretionary car users. A model has been developed to compare the...

This paper presents a review of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in Australasia. It describes the major systems operating in Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney, outlining their infrastructure, operations and development characteristics. The performance of these systems in terms of patronage, markets, operations and overall urban development impacts is described. Lessons learned in their implementatio...
