Transitways are exclusive, physically separated, limited access roadway facilities for high occupancy vehicles (buses, vans, carpools). The complexity of operations (reversible flow) and, in many applications, the restrictions to cross-section width, emphasizes the need for an active traffic operations management system which includes capabilities
