This paper presents the findings of a study evaluating the potential benefits of implementing transit signal priority along the Columbia Pike arterial corridor, in Arlington, Va. The study uses the INTEGRATION microscopic traffic simulation model to evaluate the impact of a number of alternative priority strategies on both the prioritized buses and general traffic during the morning peak and midday traffic periods. The transit priority strategies considered include providing priority to express buses traveling along Columbia Pike, to both express and regular buses along the arterial, and to all buses within the study corridor. The priority logic that is considered in the study provides simple green extensions and green recalls within a fixed-time traffic signal control environment. The simulation results indicate that the buses provided with priority would typically benefit from transit priority, but that these benefits may be obtained at the expense of the overall traffic, particularly when traffic demand is high. However, it is also found that in periods of lesser demand, the overall negative impacts could be negligible due to the availability of spare capacity at the signalized intersections.
