BRT Signal Priority Control Strategy Model Based on Travel Social Benefits

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of the ignorance of the purpose of resident trips when establishing the bus priority strategy, an BRT signal priority control strategy is presented based on social benefits and exponential smoothing in this paper. Firstly, weights used by G 1 are given to resident trips which are in different period and for different purposes. Secondly, the number of vehicles, the average rate of loading and the travel proportions for different purposes at the intersection are predicted by exponential smoothing, the value of the social benefits are calculated through the indicators above, and the BRT priority strategy is determined by comparing the value of the social benefits. Finally, the feasibility of the model is validated according to the example.
