Urban public transport is a basic travel service provided by the government for the public. It is a fundamental service that ensures normal city operation and boosts city competitiveness. Prioritizing the development of urban public transportation is necessary for alleviating urban traffic congestion, transforming urban transportation development mode, improving quality of life, and strengthening the government’s ability to provide basic public services. It is also a strategic option for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.

Public transport priority includes two aspects, prioritized development and prioritized passage, and its essence is "people first" and "efficiency first". Public transport priority is a very complex engineering project, which requires policy and regulatory support along with feasible technical measures. In order to achieve this goal, we not only need technical support such as public transport network and station optimization, bus operation management modernization, and bus priority passage technology, but also administrative support, such as management system resource allocation and social supervision.

The system adopts RFID, video recognition and GPS positioning technology, and integrates intersection signal timing plan, social vehicle green wave plan, bus schedule, primary and secondary road, primary and secondary route and bus position information to form bus priority control strategies. While allowing priority for public transport vehicles on road sections and at intersections, the system also takes into account the traffic needs of social vehicles. In this way, the system improves operation efficiency of public transport vehicles, increases the proportion of travel by public transit, and relieves urban traffic congestion.
