On-board Transit Signal Priority

On-board systems request signal priority through short range communication directly with traffic control equipment at the roadside (intersections, ramps, interchanges, etc.).

1. The transit vehicle shall determine the schedule deviation and estimated times of arrival (ETA) at transit stops.
2. The transit vehicle shall send priority requests to traffic signal controllers at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and multimodal crossings on the roads (surface streets) and freeway (ramp controls) network that enable a transit vehicle schedule deviation to be corrected.
3. The transit vehicle shall send the schedule deviation data and status of priority requests to the transit vehicle operator.
