THE PROMPT PROJECT : AN OVERVIEW

This paper gives an overview of the PROMPT (Priority and Informatics in Public Transport) project. The main objective of the project was to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate strategies for giving active priority to buses and trams in real-time adaptive Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems. The project was based on activities in the cities of London, Turin, and Gothenburg, with a further demonstration being undertaken in Southampton. Each city has an advanced UTC system and a vehicle location system on at least part of the public transit fleet.
