ABSTRACT

In order to define a map of resources to users, operators, managers, equipment providers, application providers and other stakeholders, which can use as a guide for the implementation of its activities, it is used BRT, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an efficient transport system for cities that need to quickly expand your network of public transport, with a minimal investment compared to other systems. The BRT uses dedicated corridors to reduce user travel time, but these corridors should be within the existing road network, so it is necessary to implement automation systems that can coordinate BRT operations with other city transport modes. This automation system, known as ITS, has features that make this management, how to act at the traffic lights along the corridor in order to prioritize the passage of BRT, which also has other features in other areas that allow the proper functioning of the BRT.
