Abstract:

Local transportation agencies in the Salt Lake City (SLC) Metropolitan Area spent more than a decade

working toward building a sustainable regional transportation system. Light Rail Transit (LRT) is an

integral part of that system. Currently, three LRT lines operate along the Wasatch Front area. A new line

between the SLC International Airport and the University of Utah area currently is under consideration.

Due to implementation of an additional LRT line, it is anticipated that an expected increase in frequency

of LRT trains will worsen traffic and transit performance of a large and complex multi modal network.

The goal of this research is to estimate and analyze the impact of LRT Transit Signal Priority (TSP) on

other modes of transportation and the performance of a transportation network using microsimulation

environment. The most prominent feature of the analyzed traffic network is a diverse signal timing

environment with predictive priority for LRT. Successful integration of VISSIM simulation software and

Siemens NextPhase virtual controller enabled realistic representation of real-time predictive priority

settings, which allowed for a comprehensive analysis of traffic and transit performance measures on

different levels. Results showed the most severe impacts occurred at intersections in the downtown area

where multiple LRT lines intersected. However, certain areas for improvement were identified. Proposed

procedures and their effectiveness were demonstrated toward reducing adverse effects of LRT expansion,

which would validate potential implementation of the proposed strategies in the field.
