Satellite positioning system Galileo - Czech Republic approach. Priority system for public transport

The Czech Ministry of Transport supported five year research project looking for proper application of GALILEO in the rail and road area. Prague firm Eltodo EG is responsible for roads. A few interesting possibilities of global positioning system for city management were investigated. The article presents new approach to the priorities for buses in the case of traffic overloaded intersection. In this situation, the registration point for a bus is only virtual and it depends on a length of a queue at the approaching arm of the intersection. The system gives priority in accordance with the queue length and delay of the bus. It is undergoing testing in Prague. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
