Transit signal priority fine-tuning : how to get more from your system.

This paper describes the development of the Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Fine Tuning Process, used to verify the TSP system and the TSP parameters at various intersections. The results of teh fine tuning process are linked back to the traffic simulation analysis conducted to establish the initial suite of TSP parameters for implementation. The objective of the TSP fine tuning exercise is to verify that the TSP system is operating properly and that the TSP parameters, including Vehicle Logic Unit (VLU) distances for check in/check out distances, the controller maximum green extension and red truncation times, are suitable for the various intersections.
