Abstract

Recently, some effective measures as TDM (Transport Demand Management) have beendesired to improve the urban transport problems including the environmental pollution. Especially, the public transport systems should be essential to consider the urban transport problems, because of both of direct effects like the mitigation of environmental pollution based on the reduction of traffic volume, and indirect effects like the encouragement of common sense for sustainability. In this paper, the effects and future issues concerned with the bus priority system introducedin Sakai City of Osaka, which consisted of PTPS (Public Transport Priority Systems), MOCS (Mobile Operation Control Systems) and other systems like traffic regulation and/or information for publicity, were analyzed based on some viewpoints such as users' convenience, influence on traffic flow and agreements of such system for both residents and drivers. These findings will be expected to be significantly helpful to introduce such systems to improve the transport problems in urban areas.
