Nicander is here to unveil a revolutionary system-to-system approach to public transport signal priority. Its Public Transit Interface Module (PTIM) is an innovative solution for centralised bus priority that requires no additional roadside infrastructure. This enables rapid, scalable, and highly cost-efficient deployment.
Already operational in Dublin and newly implemented in Bellevue, Washington, Nicander’s PTIM integrates seamlessly with central traffic management systems like Scats. It delivers large-scale bus priority without junction-level modifications.
Leveraging virtual detectors powered by publicly available GTFS data, the system can be configured in minutes to activate priority based on real-time bus locations, schedule adherence, and traffic conditions.
Authorities benefit from unparalleled control and visibility through an intuitive map-based interface and comprehensive reporting tools.
PTIM cuts journey times, reduces unpredictable delays, and prevents bus bunching, resulting in more reliable and sustainable transit services. Its straightforward implementation, high customisability, and minimal operational demands make it an ideal choice for cities and transport authorities with limited budgets.
Visitors will gain an exclusive insight into Nicander’s game-changing innovation at the company’s stand and discover how it can transform their city’s public transport strategy.
Additionally, Nicander will present its latest research paper: ‘Transit Signal Priority, A Comparative Analysis of System Approaches’, in a special session today: PS24: Next Generation Transportation Systems from 15:00-16:30 in Theatre 1, Stand 861.
This session will examine the effectiveness of centralised versus intersection-level strategies and demonstrate why the PTIM model is setting the new standard.
