The report presents the results of bus operating tests performed on several simulated bus transitways at the Texas A&M University Research Annex. One vehicle was parked in the transitway to simulate a breakdown, and another was driven past the 'stalled' vehicle at comfortable speeds. Parked, or 'stalled', vehicles included a 40-foot transit bus and a passenger car. Passing vehicles included a 40-foot transit bus and a passenger van. The width and alignment of the barriers delineating the transitway were varied to simulate several one- and two-lane transitways with both tangent and curved sections. Simulated bus breakdowns were performed to determine the percentage of bus breakdowns that might close a transitway of a given width. The findings should allow better determination of transitway width in future planning and design efforts.
