City of Alexandria Virginia Transportation and Environmental Services ITS technologies on Route 1 Transitway Project Ravi Raut, P.E. June 2014

Route 1 Transitway - Location Map 5-mile corridor between Pentagon City and Braddock Road Metrorail stations 80% of corridor in dedicated right-of-way 30 Transitway stops within the corridor Expected daily ridership of 3,570 by 2017 First 0.8 mile segment in Alexandria currently under construction

Rt 1 Transitway- Alexandria Section Route 1 northbound widened by Potomac Yard South Developer 2-lane transit-only corridor with 12-ft landscaped medians on both sides Medians taper to allow for left- turn lanes at signalized intersections

Rt 1 Before construction

Rt 1 During Construction

Typical Transitway Route 1 intersection

ITS applications on Transitway Transit Signal Priority Queue jump Costumer Information Electronic Display (CIED) signs Bus Fare collection

Choosing TSP locations Transit Priority and Queue Jump Intersection LOS/Delays Bus stop location Number of passengers Detectors on side street 3 TSP and 2 Queue jump locations

TSP Operation AVL system – Clever Devices IVN and BusWare software TSP software run on IVN platform and works with BusWare BusWare looks at all operational data and determines if request is met. If request is met, Busware invokes TSP software. TSP software (via onboard cellular modem) initiate dialogue with intersection (via intersection cellular modem) Intersection modem transmits the data to correct phase selector Phase selector makes priority decision at the intersection Central Management software (CMS) enables system manager to monitor, maintain and configure the TSP system from central location

TSP operation

Traffic signal cabinet - TSP

Transit Priority technics Green extension If the signal is green but about to turn red and if bus is behind schedule – add few seconds of green time for approaching transit Early green If the signal is red - truncate the red phase for approaching transit
