EVALUATION OF CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR BUS PREEMPTION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS

An algorithm which allows signal preemption by buses was developed for the NETSIM model. It was programmed into this model by FHWA. Subsequently, this algorithm was tested by comparing the results generated by the NETSIM model with results obtained from a manual implementation of bus preemption at one intersection in the field.
