Smooth integration of public transport in urban traffic control networks.

Traditionally public transport priority is an add-on to an urban traffic control network. This leads to a number of inefficiencies. From a traffic management viewpoint, the solution is far from optimal, it is difficult to tune the system to new situations or changing policies and last but not least there are costly redundancies in the technical infrastructure. This paper describes a class of technical solutions for efficient public transport that optimally uses the traffic control network. (A*)
