PT09: Transit Signal Priority: CTS
Need Area Description
This service package determines the need for transit priority on routes and at certain intersections and requests transit vehicle priority at these locations. The signal priority may result from limited local coordination between the transit vehicle and the individual intersection for signal priority or may result from coordination between transit management and traffic management centers. Coordination between traffic and transit management is intended to improve on–time performance of the transit system to the extent that this can be accommodated without degrading overall performance of the traffic network.
