Next-generation BRT Automation: Exploring the Potential of Conventional Opening Lane Barricades for Seamless Transit Operations

Ishika Munshi, Mehul Sahu, Manasi Thakare, Minakshi L Jadhav

Abstract


The problem of BRT lane violations is addressed in this text. Emerging communities can develop a cost-effective, high-quality mass transit system thanks to bus rapid transit (BRT). The BRT concept is outlined in this article of the Sustainable Transport Sourcebook, along with a brief explanation of the BRT development process. Effective public transport is necessary for development. For most residents of developing cities, public transport is the sole practical option for getting to places of employment, places of learning, and public services, especially when those locations are too far distant to be reached by walking or cycling. Unfortunately, the actual needs of the population for mobility are frequently not met by the current level of public transit services in developing cities.  On the other hand, inadequate public transport does not necessarily equate to high municipal debt. Identification of unauthorised vehicle access cannot be done using the traditional way. We cannot rely on the conventional way because it is so ineffective. We are therefore aiming to propose an automated approach in order to address the aforementioned issue as effectively as possible and help the BRT system return to its original objectives.
