Assessing Feasibility of Deploying Transit Signal Priority with Connected Vehicle Technology using MSU Testbed

This project seeks to enhance urban transportation efficiency through the development and implementation of Transit Signal Priority (TSP) integrated with Connected Vehicle (CV) technology using the existing infrastructure at Morgan State University (MSU). The proposed TSP with Connected Vehicles (TSPCV) will utilize advanced prediction models to refine bus arrival time predictions, ensuring optimized green light allocation and significantly improving the flow of public transit and overall traffic conditions. By leveraging data from real-time sensors and implementing a digital twin model for simulations, this project aims to create a more responsive and efficient urban transit system that can adapt to real-time traffic conditions and reduce delays for public transportation.
