Abstract :
Bus priority control at isolated intersection was discussed in this paper, passive priority and pre-signal were researched and compared. Average delay per vehicle (ADPV) and average delay per passenger (ADPP) were selected as the efficiency indexes of system. VISSIM 4.10 was selected as the evaluation tool. Simulation model was constructed relating to one real intersection. Simulation results indicated that pre-signal can reduce ADPP by 4 to 15 percents and increase ADPV by 7 to 30 percents. Also, scene of bus advance area, signal timing of the main signal can influence efficiency of the system.
