Abstract
The main objective of this study is to provide a basis to evaluate bus priority policies especially bus lane and public transport priority at signal by developing microscopic traffic simulation model. Fuzzy reasoning has been considered in lane change and route choice behaviour. The lane change model with fuzzy reasoning seems to be estimating the lane changing behaviour more realistically. The results show the superiority of priority bus lane option over the exclusive bus lane option. In case of priority at signal options, curtailing red phase and extending green phase has been drawing more benefits compared to other options considered.
