• Abstract:
  The goal of this study is to evaluate light rail priority strategies along the 400 S / 500 S corridor in Salt Lake County through analyzing benefits and impacts of the priority on transit and vehicular traffic through microsimulation. The field of study consists of a 2-mile corridor with 12 signalized intersections along 400 S / 500 S, where the university light rail line operates. The study uses VISSIM microsimulation models to estimate light rail operations, as well as impacts that light rail priority has on transit and general purpose traffic.
