Defining quantitative impacts of the PT priority system and comparing different data collection methods
Public transport (PT) is generally perceived as a public service of great importance. It is a service that meets the needs of mobile citizens and contributes to overall quality of life and sustainability. This is true in many CIVITAS cities, but especially in the ELAN cities in which improving the quality of life and sustainability are among the specific project objectives. The PT system itself can be described as a system with complex relations between transport infrastructure, transport demand, economy, politics, land use planning, and, more recently, marketing, environment, and the quality of life. These relations define the development of PT through its accessibility, availability, usability, flexibility and, ultimately, through its performance. An efficient way to improve PT performance is to give priority to PT vehicles at signalised intersections. In this case, the PT system is supported by a traffic control system that ensures the progression of public transport vehicles through the city’s traffic signals on the tram or bus corridors. This paper is based on the research undertaken within the CIVITAS ELAN project where one of the objectives (within measure 8.2-ZAG Public transport priority and traveller information) was to introduce such a system in the City of Zagreb (see The Civitas Initiative).
