Adaptive signal priority that waits when your bus does. Glance® synchronizes green lights with actual stop behavior, delivering smoother service without costly infrastructure changes.
Near-side stops—where buses halt before the intersection—are commonly used to enhance driver visibility, reduce mid-block pedestrian crossings, and improve passenger safety.
But they’ve historically posed timing problems for TSP systems, which may call for a green light too early. The result? The light turns green while the bus is still loading passengers, then turns red just as it’s ready to depart.
Glance Adaptive TSP directly addresses this issue by syncing signal priority with actual bus behavior.
Pilots and early deployments of Glance Adaptive TSP have shown:
Reduced bus delay at signalized intersections
Improved on-time performance
Shorter traffic backups for all vehicles
This approach is now being adopted across multiple cities seeking smarter, safer, and more efficient transit corridors.
Adaptive TSP supports near-side stops to enhance pedestrian safety and traffic flow. By keeping bus stops before the intersection, pedestrians are guided to cross at designated crosswalks, reducing jaywalking and conflicts with turning vehicles. In contrast, far-side stops can encourage unsafe mid-block crossings and increase the risk of pedestrian accidents.
Glance Adaptive TSP combines real-time vehicle data, historical analytics, and smart decision logic to optimize green lights where and when they’re needed most:
Extends green phases to clear queued traffic ahead of approaching buses, avoiding intersection blockages.
Releases or cancels the TSP request when the bus stops at the near-side location, avoiding wasted green time.
Anticipates departure using historic stop behavior and dwell time, triggering the next green when the bus is ready.
Maintains near-side stop placement to discourage unsafe crossings and reduce conflicts with turning vehicles.
Glance Adaptive TSP helps agencies modernize their TSP strategies without expensive construction or compromise.
With configurable settings, cloud-based monitoring, and proven performance in diverse cities, it’s a smarter path to better transit.
What are near-side stops?
Near-side stops are bus stops placed just before a signalized intersection. Buses stop here before proceeding through the intersection.
Why not relocate stops to the far side?
Relocating bus stops to the far side is costly and can introduce safety issues like mid-block pedestrian crossings or blocked travel lanes. Adaptive TSP enables effective signal priority without changing stop locations.
Is this compatible with our current infrastructure?
Yes. Glance Adaptive TSP integrates with existing traffic signal controllers and CAD/AVL systems, including Clever Devices, Swiftly, Avail and others.
How is this different from traditional TSP?
Traditional TSP treats every approach the same. Adaptive TSP adds real-time logic that adapts to stop duration and traffic conditions at near-side stops, making it more efficient and safer.
Does it support pedestrian safety goals?
Absolutely. By keeping stops on the near side, the system promotes safer crossings at corners and maintains visibility for all users.
