Abstract:The Miami Urban Partnership Agreement included the conversion of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-95 to high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes and additional express bus service. It also included funding for the installation of transit signal prioritization (TSP) at 50 intersections on Pines/Hollywood and Broward Boulevards in Broward County. This report summarizes the findings of TSP data collection on Pines/Hollywood Blvd. from December 2010 to February 2011. The data showed an average time savings of 4 minutes in the AM peak period due to TSP, which amounted to a 12 percent reduction in travel times. On-time performance improved from 66.7 percent to 75 percent. In the PM peak period, the travel time and signal delay were similar with or without the TSP activated. This could be an indication that afternoon traffic volumes on westbound Pines/Hollywood Blvd. are so heavy that TSP is of only marginal benefit.
