Bus Priority Control System in Chongqing

Project Context

In recent years, with the rapid development of Chongqing the traffic congestion is also becoming more and more serious. Bus priority road construction is been developing sharply in Chongqing to guide the citizens to use public transport while travelling. Public transport can not play all the advantages only by bus priority roads. Bus priority system is needed to play the biggest advantage of bus priority.    

Solution

Ø Deploy traffic signal control system and bus priority system in the background;

Ø Lay one RFID detector at the place of 100 to 150 meters from the intersection and lay another RFID detector at the place of about 30 meters from the intersection; RFID can detect the arrival situation of buses. The bus priority system adjusts the real-time operation plan of the controller to make the buses park as little as possible and even no need to park while passing the intersection by delaying green lights, shortening red lights or inserting phase. This will increase the passage efficiency of buses furthest.    

Ø Increase the passage efficiency of buses and reduce disturbance to social vehicles through advanced bus priority control technology;

Ø Set an information reminding screen at the intersection to remind the bus priority effect and set an information display screen at the starting position of the bus priority lane to remind the drivers of the related information of the bus priority lane;  

Customer Value

After using the bus priority system, the number of bus parking is reduced sharply. The passage efficiency is also increased and the travel time is shortened by 10%;

The citizens’ experience of taking a bus is improved. It is significant for guiding citizens to take public transport and promoting green travel.
