A Framework for Ongoing Performance Monitoring of Bus Lane System

In this paper, a comprehensive framework for ongoing performance monitoring of an urban exclusive bus lane network is introduced. The scheduled, periodic monitoring is critical to ensure the bus lane system accomplishes a specific operational performance threshold under changing traffic conditions. Unlike ex-ante and ex-post evaluation of individual project, this paper focuses on the year-to-year changes in performance of a city-wide exclusive bus lane system so that more concise performance measures and efficient data collection method are required. The Framework proposed an effective evaluation procedure with the constraint of data availability. It identifies explicit quantitative performance measures from the perspective of both travellers and traffic managers. Efficient data collection and integration methods are also addressed in the framework. Finally, an application of the framework was implemented to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the 161.8 km bus lane network in Shanghai. The results of the application are presented.
