Abstract
The objective of the European project TIPS&Info4BRT was to study, analyze and evaluate the impacts and benefits of BRT corridor realization (Bus with High Level of service-BHLS in Europe). The BHLS can be seen as flexible concept able to be introduced in different contexts (urban, sub-urban area, etc.) with different service schemes and realization levels. This document faces different aspects which have to be studied and evaluated in order to realize a BHLS corridor. The first part focuses on both the characteristics and the interventions on the neighbouring areas supporting the implementation of the Corridor. Whereas, in the second part, each step of the proposed methodology is described in order to evaluate the impacts on the private traffic and the benefits for the Public Transport. The proposed methodology is suitable to be adapted in any kind of city.
