Abstract
This article studied bus signal priority (BSP) strategies at road intersections containing bus lane through simulation. Based on cellular automata (CA) theory, the coordination of single-phase buses and cars under different BSP control strategies is studied and the “speed-distance” condition is introduced in transit signal priority, with which two indicators for evaluation considered resource constraints are proposed, namely, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The effect on the consumption of general vehicles from bus signal priority is shown by CA simulation, and the judgment of the bus priority level is determined by the calculation of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
