}This paper studies the feasibility of automating the exclusive bus lane (XBL) of the Lincoln tunnel corridor. Automating the exclusive bus lane will have benefits including, reduction in travel times and increase in capacity of the bus lane. This way, construction of new lanes, which involves very large amounts of capital investment, could be avoided. Three different bus controllers that adjust the speed of the bus based on its speed and the spacing with respect to the bus ahead were…
