SPRUCE
Strategic Priority for Buses, Trams and Emergency vehicles.
What is SPRUCE?
SPRUCE is BRH's bespoke traffic signal priority system, developed to give buses, trams and emergency vehicles reliable, network-wide priority at signalised junctions. It works alongside existing UTC systems such as SCOOT and MOVA to deliver targeted, strategic priority strategies rather than simple local requests.
SPRUCE strategies have been deployed on networks across the UK, supporting bus punctuality, tram recovery, fire engine green waves and network-wide congestion management.
Bus Priority
Bespoke strategies that give scheduled and real-time priority to bus services at individual and networked junctions.
Tram Priority & Recovery
Strategic priority and recovery strategies to keep tram services running to schedule, including delay recovery after network disruption.
Emergency Vehicle Priority
Green wave strategies for fire engines and other emergency vehicles, reducing response times across a signalised network.
