#$%^&*AU2018204884A120180726.pdf#####ABSTRACT Approaches for managing transit signal priority (TSP) requests are disclosed. The arrival of a first transit vehicle at a transit stop is detected, and a first value indicative of an actual arrival time is stored in a memory in response to the arrival of the first transit vehicle at the transit stop. A processor determines from the first value whether or not the actual arrival time of the first transit vehicle satisfies a scheduling parameter. In response to the actual arrival time of the first transit vehicle not satisfying the scheduling parameter, a priority request device is enabled to make TSP requests. In response to the actual arrival time of the first transit vehicle satisfying the scheduling parameter, the priority request device is disabled from making TSP requests.1/6 102 Detect arrival/departure of transit vehicle at a transit stop 104 Determine the actual arrival/departure time of the transit vehicle at the transit stop in response to detecting the arrival/departure of the vehicle 106 Determine whether or not the actual arrival/departure time satisfies a scheduling parameter 112 Scheduling yes parameter satisfied? no 116 Enable sending of TSP requests by 120 Disable sending of TSP requests by the priority request device in response to the priority request device in response to the enable signal the disable signal FIG.
