exclusive bus corridor July 29, 2009, 05:25:54 pm Hello dear friends, was asked about a lot of objects to create exclusive bus lanes in Simutrans, so I open this topic in order to make a study among members for a possible development of an addon specified exclusive bus corridor. below show some pictures and some suggestions. Feel free to discuss. PS I am from Brazil and I'm using the google translatorWe all know that those cards banned cars it helps but does not work, because when the city starts to grow they appear within the prohibited places, I left a thread on this. for a possible creation of an addon or several addons specifically on the bus corridor.

Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #1 – July 29, 2009, 05:54:42 pm The answer to your request is at the archive: link to bus lane addon... Features of this addon:Quote- can be build over roads.- is not taken away by the city, like normal roads- buses have priority on the bus lane.- the buses accelerate very fast- allows bidirectional (two-way) travelP.S: I haven't test it with the latest version, so It might not work.

Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #2 – July 29, 2009, 06:22:11 pm Vilvoh Hi, I was giving a look and saw that this addon he still is very simple, and that the car still appear in the corridors. My suggestion wanted studied were able to set up points of specific to bus lanes like the picture, signaling specifies. I appreciate the link, already downloaded it to test but the would start to evaluate my idea. thanks would be possible?EDIT:I tested this addon, it is a slight modification of road rail. would like to discuss something specific bus.

Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #3 – July 30, 2009, 02:11:49 pm my idea is designed to be something specific and not a transformation. I see a study for possible construction of bus stops, types of roads, types of signs to specific corridors in urban buses Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #4 – July 30, 2009, 03:15:15 pm In most paksets there is a "Privat Road" sign, with it only your vehicles can move on a street.Do you mean something like the attached screenshot? If yes, this already works with the "Private Road" siganls!In the middle road only trams and busses can drive. Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #5 – July 30, 2009, 05:47:27 pm I think Diegoviagens means a specific road type which could be private, you build this road and city cars don't go and appear on it. It would be great for overcrowded cities Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #6 – July 30, 2009, 06:07:25 pm That same Gauthier, my thinking is this. because even with the board of private road over the growth of each city they start to appear in and well mixed and delaying the system bus Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #7 – July 31, 2009, 05:44:02 am In previous discussions of this idea (a type of road that could not be taken over by the city), it was denied. We'll see if that happens again here. Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #8 – July 31, 2009, 08:55:47 am Isn't this essentially a bus lane? - Couldn't we then have the ability to have a half road? , so 1/2 is Bus Specific (bought and placed over (takes graphic from below, and places itself on it)) and other 1/2 is everything? However, then buses would need programming to go through. However this would only be useful in cities, as between cities , as mentioned above you could use Private road. Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #9 – July 31, 2009, 08:27:18 pm The design of busline he is good, but needs manyimprovements to be an excellent corridor for exclusive bus and in addition, there is a range of buses needed that meets the route and the player can put trap****ear trains to run on roads.

Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #10 – August 09, 2009, 04:53:27 am its looks good but i think i seen some that go underground - for example underground bus stops with excluive bus lane in tunnel Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #11 – August 09, 2009, 05:36:30 pm it would be better with ground exclusive bus lanes ^^ Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #12 – August 17, 2009, 11:39:50 am Hmmm, I think that the whole "train track" style crossing for the buses is just overdoing it lol! We have bus lanes in Sydney but the absolute express, exclusive ones you can find out west in the Hills District. Anyway we just put a barrier between it and the public road, when a route turns off onto a smaller street there is a gap in the barrier. Now if cars get in we got traffic cameras that catch them lol. And near the coast the bus lane is just a lane painted red. No barriers, no exclusiveness but the longer stretches also have cameras.Anyway onto the point. I think that theres a Private Road sign that only allows your vehicles to p****. If you can find where to download that then I think that would work for you! But if your city is big enough to need a bus lane then I suggest using tram/subway (underground train) or just lower traffic density.Hope that helps! Quote Selected

Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #14 – August 18, 2009, 07:15:08 am Quote from: gauthier – on August 17, 2009, 04:51:18 pmstreets would be too much large Well, it's really only on the big roads. And unlike in the pic posted by the thread starter it only has 2 lanes. One running each direction. here's a pic I took on my way home today.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=-33.734820,+150.919719&sll=-33.734879,150.91988&sspn=0.000656,0.00142&ie=UTF8&ll=-33.734467,150.919742&spn=0.002623,0.005681&t=h&z=18&iwloc=AThat's the intersection where the photo is. But the satellite pics are old and half of the road isn't constructed yet in these pics. As for how to make these in the game, the way i can think of is making a way-type exclusive for buses/trucks (also emergency vehicles use it in real life). Of Sorry but I don't really know much about the mechanics of the game. (I am learning C++ and have done some GUI Programming - if that's what you call it - in Warcraft 3 World Editor. So I do know what's reasonable and what's not) Also, on the Google Map, if you scroll all the way down you can see that it will reach a bus hub at Blacktown train station. Also, there's more T-Ways up on Windsor Road (Go North til you reach it)! Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #15 – August 22, 2009, 05:10:00 am I did some looking around and found this!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_rapid_transitThat's exactly what you're looking for. I think that this would best be built as a separate way type. But it can join with roads. Such as trams and rail. Even better would be to make it buildable on top of an existing road like trams are. That way you don't take up extra space. Why make them interconnected with roads? Well along the most trafficked part of your city you build the bus lane and buses can turn off into different sections of the city so as to service the whole city. This would be a great idea if the producers could make it!Also I found a wikipedia page for the Australian T-Way I was talking about earlier.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North-West_T-way Quote Selected

Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #17 – August 30, 2009, 12:19:20 am Look what I found! It's on the Japanese Simutrans but basically it's a bus way-type! It is in Japanese though so maybe someone could speak with them and try translate it all and make it in English?Anyway trying to figure it out now! Have fun.http://japanese.simutrans.com/index.php?Addon128%2FRoadTools%201 Quote Selected
Re: exclusive bus corridor Reply #18 – August 31, 2009, 09:48:07 pm it's just an elevetad road, we want a bus new road type ! I know this addon and I agree with you : that's fun ^^ Quote Selected
