This study presents a practical approach to transit system planning using microscopic simulation with emphasis on operational issues. The microscopic simulation model can generate detailed estimates of traffic conditions considering time-varying demand and individual driver's behavior. Therefore, it can evaluate drivers' interactions with complex traffic environment and analyze the impact of major roadwork improvement and/or advanced transportation management strategies on the transit and traffic operations. A microsimulation-based transit planning practice is presented as case study. Exhaustive analyses combining various alignments and three transit technologies including BRT, LGR, and AGT are conducted to evaluate the performance of each alternative. The case study demonstrates the feasibility, applicability and benefits of the proposed approach.
