By Jianyang Zheng, Ph.D., P.E. (M), Guohui Zhang, Ph.D. (M),
Yinhai Wang, Ph.D. (M) and Peter M. Briglia Jr., P.E. (M)
This study quantitatively evaluates the impacts of the South
Snohomish Regional Transit Signal Priority (SS-RTSP) system
in Washington State, USA, on both transit and local traffic
operations based on fi eld data and simulation models. The
evaluation results show that the SS-RTSP system produces
