Sažetak
Giving priority to public transport (PT) vehicles at signalized intersections has always been an effective way to increase the overall Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of reducing travel times. The benefits of introduction of these systems are often expressed through cost and benefit analysis (CBA), where it can be seen how and how much (expressed in monetary value) specific implications affect the PT company, city authority, users, society, etc. By conducting the evaluation of PT priority system performances using just CBA, certain transport impacts can easily be omitted. In this paper the emphasis is on defining the evaluation methodology for evaluation of PT priority system. The set of evaluation indicators, which are used for the decomposition of PT vehicle operation time, is defined. This approach enables the identification of different background data impacts on the PT system performances. PT is supported by a traffic control system that will provide public transport vehicles progression through the city’s traffic signals on the tram corridors. The paper emerged from an ongoing research within the European CiViTAS ELAN project, where one of the objectives is to develop, demonstrate and evaluate the impact of giving priority to public transport in City of Zagreb on modal split, traffic congestion, energy consumptions, air quality etc.
