Transit Signal Priority (TSP) leverages vehicle location and wireless communication technologies to optimize traffic signal timing. By extending green lights, TSP allows buses, such as those operated by Pace or CTA, to reduce travel times, improve schedule adherence, and navigate intersections more efficiently, particularly when delays threaten timely arrivals. TSP adjusts traffic signals to prioritize specific vehicles like buses, emergency responders, or trains. This system enhances travel efficiency, bolsters safety, and ensures priority vehicles can reach their destinations without disrupting overall traffic flow. With TSP-equipped buses, passengers benefit from fewer delays at signals, leading to faster, more reliable commutes. Over half of area transit users can experience these advantages, promoting dependable and efficient public transit. Key objectives of Transit Signal Priority include: Reducing intersection delays: TSP minimizes time lost at signalized intersections, lowering operational costs and resource requirements. Improving reliability: By reducing variability in travel times, TSP ensures consistency and prevents congestion caused by prolonged signal cycles. Enhancing safety: TSP supports safe navigation for buses and trams, especially in restricted areas like bus-only streets, roundabouts, or contraflow lanes.
Through optimized signal timing, TSP significantly improves urban mobility while maintaining smooth traffic operations.
