Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a cost‐efficient, traffic‐free bus‐based transportation system competing with subways. There are 205 municipalities around the world that implemented their own BRT systems. Istanbul, having the sixth‐most congested traffic in the world, built its own BRT system (Metrobüs), which serves more than 830,000 people (6.45% of all public transportation usage) in a day with 6254...
Mega cities around the world are highly concerned about the impacts of urban transportation. It is very frequently to find multiple actors from both private and public sectors involved in the design and operation of urban passenger transportation systems to make decisions that seek at optimising their own particular objectives. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques actually aid this process...

W artykule omówiono wyniki finansowe firmy i rynkowe MAN Truck&Bus w 2011 r. Przedstawiono także rozwiązania techniczne stosowane w autobusach tej firmy przeznaczone dla różnych segmentów rynku. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na autobusy dla systemów BRT oraz na autobusy wykorzystujące paliwa alternatywne.
In order to solve the problem of choosing patterns which exists in the development of public transit and provide the development strategy for urban public transport system, the suggestion that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system should be developed first is proposed on the basis of analyzing the existing transportation problems in the city of our country. And the essential factors and characteristic of...
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) combines the benefits of light rail transit with the flexibility and efficiency of bus transit. The goal of BRT development is to enhance ridership and reduce operating costs with increased service levels and quality. A BRT system combines the technology of intelligent transportation systems, traffic signal priority, cleaner and quieter vehicles, rapid and convenient fare collection,...
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is a new type and high efficient bus operator system, whose transportation capacity is close to the rail transportation, and has rapid construction speed, also can retrench the investigation. This paper introduced the intelligent control strategy which is basically realized by the Dispatching Control Center located in the Central Station. With the help of GPS system,...
Bus Rapid Transit System in the application of China's urban transportation is in the ascendant. With the technical advantages of rail transportation, it's economical, beneficial and having less impact on the environment. And the significance of sustainable development determines its high research value. This article establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system of sustainable development, using...
Bus rapid transit (BRT) system is the key technology of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This paper is about the research on a hierarchical BRT system based on multi-tier wireless sensor networks (WSN). It maps the features of WSN to BRT system and provides solutions for BRT technologies, such as transit signal priority.
GNSS present an interesting solution for lots of operational urban public transport modes because of their independence of infrastructure and land equipments. However, their performances have to be evaluated and sometimes enhanced. This paper will present the development of the ANGO localization solution devoted to urban guided buses. GNSS accuracy has been estimated along the line from simulations...
The objective of Bus Signal Priority (BSP) for Bus Rapid Transit System(BRT) is not only decreasing buses delay but also enhancing the reliability of bus service by keeping buses on schedule or maintaining bus headway adherence. One problem with existing bus priority strategies is that they do not care about the variances of sequential buses delay at intersections. Usually buses arrive at intersection...
