How Transit Signal Priority is useful for Small and Medium Cities?
The urban sector prioritizes Transit Signal Priority (TSP) as there is more moderate to high demand for transit service, and bus headways are less than 15 minutes. The urban sector system is executed to expedite buses' movement with high occupancy, thus supporting any negative consequences on other traffic and lowering the overall person-delay at intersections. The experts have laid research to assess the impacts of transit priority deployments in the smaller cities. They evaluated the anticipated impacts and also field tests. Bus travel time is the most generally used means to evaluate the impact of transit priority. Transit agencies in small-medium-sized cities have fewer users and work at less frequency (i.e., headway more significant than 30 minutes). During peak periods, traffic congestion causes missed intersections at crossings and can increase the transit commuter's time even for around one hour. Therefore, we use TSP in small-medium size areas to alleviate missed con
