Transit Priority ApplicationTransit Priority Application
Transit Priority is based on a headway systemheadway system• If the bus is behind the pre-
established headway, the request is granted
• If the bus is ahead of the scheduled headway the request is deniedheadway, the request is denied
• The headway is independent of travel direction
14
Transit Priority Application( t )
Transit Priority Application( t )(cont.)(cont.)
Transit Priority is granted using either:• Early Green • Extension of Main Street Green• Currently set at 10% of cycle length or 10 seconds, based on
typical cycle lengths of 90 to 100 seconds
15
Transit Priority ApplicationTransit Priority ApplicationDetection is based on Optical Detection –“Opticom”Opticom• Detection zone is set 400 feet from intersection• Based on 10 second arrival time to the
i t tiintersectionLogic is performed locally at the controller levellevel• Type 170 controller with BI Trans 233 firmware• Type 170 controller with Caltrans C-8 firmware

• 2070 & NEMA controllers with Naztec firmware
Transit Priority Functional Transit Priority Functional SpecificationsSpecifications
Transit priority operates for pre timed semi actuated and Transit priority operates for pre-timed, semi-actuated, and fully-actuated intersectionsTransit priority functions in free running and coordinated p y gmodesTransit priority sequence operates by ending an opposing phase early to give an early green or extending the green phase early to give an early green or extending the green interval with the transit priority callVehicle and pedestrian phases are not skipped to serve an

Transit Priority Functional Transit Priority Functional Specifications (cont.)Specifications (cont.)
Transit priority calls are non-locking Transit priority sequence Transit priority calls are non-locking. Transit priority sequence terminates in the absence of a call.After serving a transit priority call, signal returns to normal operation within the next cycle under coordination modewithin the next cycle, under coordination mode.Transit priority calls are served on a first come first served basis.There are four (4) user settable headway time intervals selectable th h ti f d d d f k t bl through a time-of-day and day-of-week table. A reporting capability to record all TSP activities, including amount of green time reallocation
