PRIORITY MANAGEMENT FOR URBAN ARTERIALS : TRANSFERABILITY OF TECHNIQUES : METHODOLOGY AND SUMMARY

This paper describes the background and methodology used in to assess the effect of individual traffic control measures, both in isolation and in combination. The aim of the project was to test the transferability of techniques developed in the DRIVE II project PRIMAVERA to a range of different types of urban corridor. Measures are classified into three categories: congestion management, public transport priority, and traffic calming. Measures from these aras are then applied to a microsimulation model of four urban arterial corridors: three in Leeds and one in Leicester. The effects of the application of individual and integrated measures are assessed in terms of their efficiency, environmental and safety impacts using a form of Multi-Criteria Analysis.
