The Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transport de Laval recently implemented the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gtt.com\/opticom-transit-signal-priority\/opticom-transit-gps-system\/\">Opticom\u2122<\/a> Transit Signal Priority (TSP), which is a real breakthrough.<\/p>\n<p>A traditional TSP system shortens the duration of red lights at intersections and keeps transit vehicles out of traffic jams. Due to tech limitations, however, it gives these vehicles priority at all times, even if the vehicle isn\u2019t behind schedule. In some cases this actually creates traffic problems instead of alleviating them. This is where the Opticom TSP system proves more efficient. It incorporates an on-board computer that knows, in real time, whether the bus is running behind schedule. If it is, the system automatically alerts the smart lights by radio signal and issues a request for traffic light priority. If the bus isn\u2019t running late, it doesn\u2019t send this request. And there\u2019s more to it. If two buses happen to arrive at the same intersection simultaneously, smart algorithms step in and grant priority to the bus carrying the most passengers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of our surveys said the same thing: people need punctuality. People need good information. People need reliability. People need speed. With TSP, we address all of these issues. So, we\u2019re very confident that we will be able to increase our ridership numbers,\u201d said STL\u2019s general manager, Guy Picard. While the city of Laval builds a more efficient public transport system that\u2019ll encourage more citizens to use it, they\u2019re looking after the environment, too. It\u2019s expected to <a href=\"http:\/\/masstransit.network\/mass-transit-news\/global-traffic-technologies-gtt\/opticom-tsp-aval\">reduce<\/a> Laval\u2019s carbon footprint by more than 30,000 metric tons over the next ten years. With figures like these, more cities are expected to follow their lead.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32749\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32749\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32749 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/future-bus-1024x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"A bus driving through a tunnel, with futuristic blue lines running down its side\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32749\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transport de Laval recently implemented the Opticom\u2122 Transit Signal Priority (TSP), which is a real breakthrough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Smart TSP system in New York shows impressive results<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-new-york-city-mta\/ridership-falls-on-new-york-citys-slow-buses-comptroller-idUSKBN1DR2JB\">According to<\/a> a report by the city comptroller, Scott M. Stringer, New York City\u2019s deteriorating bus system has shed \u201c100 million passenger trips since 2008 on buses that are the slowest in any large U.S. city\u201d. The city\u2019s inability to cope with traffic congestion is mirrored by this dying mode of public transport. But there\u2019s light at the end of the tunnel. A new TSP system implemented and tested on five routes showed impressive results. And a report issued by the US Department of Transportation <a href=\"https:\/\/nyc.streetsblog.org\/2017\/07\/24\/theres-no-excuse-to-keep-nyc-bus-riders-waiting-for-smarter-faster-traffic-signals\/\">reveals<\/a> that TSP that gives buses priority at intersections \u201chas improved speeds by an average of 18 per cent on the five Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) routes where the technology is live\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Department of Transportation is planning to only introduce the system to 20 bus routes by 2020. That\u2019s hardly enough, and transit advocates at the Bus Turnaround Coalition propose a different plan. They\u2019re urging the DOT and the MTA to implement Transit Signal Priority citywide. They believe that the goal should be more encompassing and include TSP on 20 bus routes each year, \u201cstarting now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Opticom Transit Signal Priority\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BlBuV0P6iuE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Algorithms help Boston optimise school district bus routes<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to MIT researchers, schools in Boston will be taking new roads. Professor Dimitris Bertsimas, the co-director of the Operations Research Center, together with PhD students Arthur Delarue and S\u00e9bastien Martin, have developed an algorithm that could optimise bus routes and cut costs. And here\u2019s how it works. Data gathered from Google Maps was used to analyse \u201ctraffic patterns during morning and afternoon rush hours\u201d. Then, they combined the results with information about students and their schools. Mapping software and optimisation techniques helped them tailor an algorithm that optimises bus routes, cutting the time that empty buses spend on the road. With the new system, 50 unnecessary routes could be <a href=\"http:\/\/mitsloan.mit.edu\/newsroom\/articles\/creating-better-bus-routes-with-algorithms\/\">removed<\/a>, \u201csaving the school district between $3 million and $5 million annually\u201d. And the best thing of all, is that this approach can be applied to any transportation system.<\/p>\n<h2>Goodbye and good riddance to gridlocks<\/h2>\n<p>Researchers are working on solutions to alleviate traffic congestion using the infrastructure that is available now. Their innovations involve smart systems and intelligent algorithms that optimise routes and reduce operating costs.
