SmartBRT: A Set of Planning, Analysis and Evaluation Tools for Bus Rapid Transit: Final Report Year 1 of 2

This report describes a two-year project to develop a computer simulation, evaluation and visualization toolbox, SmartBRT, to describe and evaluate operational aspects of bus rapid transit (BRT) concepts in order to aid decision-making. The toolbox is designed to appeal to stakeholders and offers compelling visualizations for local decision-makers, interfaces to conventional traffic modeling tools for the transportation engineering community, interfaces to planning tools for transportation planners, powerful analytical tools for BRT concept developers and researchers, and short-term results for all.
