In many cities facts defining conditions for very high concentration of functions and population make transport difficult. The proposed solutions are Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) and prioritization systems for mass urban transport buses, and priority vehicles, through a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor. Two solutions presented, which consist of a detection sub-system, with a bus component, using transmitter, and a receiver placed on the traffic lights, in the case of isolated system and an additional control center, in the case of the integrated / coordinated system. The functionality is described, and it is also presented as architecture the solution of an integrated bus priority management GPS system. In both cases we aim in minimizing the waiting time on traffic lights, and thus the waste of time on traveling. Such system is a useful instrument for any mass urban transport system.

Introduction The term Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) refers to a wide range of applications. The most basic ones include simple traffic signal control and management systems, automatic number plate recognition with speed cameras, security CCTV systems. The more advanced applications can integrate real-time traffic and vehicle data and can regulate the traffic in real-time with using such historical data. Although ITS may refer to all modes of transport, EU Directive 2010/40/EU [1] (7 July 2010) defines ITSs as systems in which information and communication technologies are applied in the field of road transport, including infrastructure, vehicles and users, and in traffic management and mobility management, as well as for interfaces with other modes of transport. ITSs are important in increasing safety and also manage Europe's growing emission and congestion problems. They make transport safer, more efficient and more sustainable [2].
