• Description:
  The objective of this project is to develop a network-based model to study the impacts of TSP at a network-level, rather than at the traditional corridor-based level. This report evaluates the overall state of TSP practice as well as identifies and investigates new ways to improve TSP. Some of the approaches that were evaluated examine the effect of adding/removing a bus lane, adding extra green signal time to bus travel direction with compensating cross street traffic for green time loss. Volume to capacity (V/C) ratios for both bus travel direction and the cross-street were evaluated to determine the (V/C) ratios that would benefit from TSP implementation. This effort will lead to a better understanding of the factors affecting TSP.
