Abstract
Bus Rapid Transit was introduced as a flexible, low-cost alternative to Metro and Light-Rail systems which also aimed at encouraging people to opt for public transport instead of private vehicles. But due to the restriction of right-of-way in the existing road, implementation of BRT system has affected the other lanes. The Motorized vehicle lanes get congested and the total throughput in every direction is affected. Thus, the BRT system needs to be integrated with other modes of transport for optimization of the traffic situation as a whole. This paper presents a study in which the motorized vehicles are given passage into the BRT Lane at a appropriate distance before the intersection taking into account the traffic signal cycle and also the traffic signal used at entry spot of the BRT Lane. VISSIM, a microscopic simulation model is used to investigate the results of the above model and its effects on the traffic situation. It has been observed that if motorized vehicles are allowed on Bus lane at a distance from the intersection, there is an increase in number of vehicle-throughput, average speed, and reduction in average delay time and with minimal impact on the BRT system.
