A series of compatible computer programs has been developed. The programs can calculate the effect of traffic management schemes and certain traffic management policies. This article gives a brief review of how the programs are to be used. Some examples of trip-time- and regularity-measurements of two running projects are given. The results show a considerable improvement in speed or regularity of public transport services, depending on the type of measurement such as the construction of free lanes and priority on traffic light controlled intersections. Improved regularity results in decrease of the average waiting times at the stops. A higher speed results in less in-vehicle-travel-time.
