This research develops a Transit Signal Priority strategy to improve the bus efficiency significantly for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in China. The strategy detects one cycle before buses’ arrival so that we can adapt a more flexible control algorithm to provide signal priority. And we use a microscopic traffic simulator VISSIM to analyze the proposed control strategies. The example is based on the BRT planning scheme on Sheng Li Avenue in Ying Tan City. The results show that this proposed strategy has remarkably improved the efficiency of public transit, compared with three other control strategies. It offers a case study for the management and control of BRT operation, and provides some practical insights about how to improve public transit efficiency.
