The development of traffic in the central business district area along the Brigjend Slamet Riyadi Street, Surakarta City, Indonesia, is relatively dense and not in accordance with the development and changes in the environmental situation. These phenomenon makes traffic jam at the signalized intersections. Transportation planning related to management and traffic engineering, and infrastructure needed to be done to parse the traffic problems. Based on the vision of the local government related to sustainable transportation, then the Brigjend. Slamet Riyadi road will adopt a one-way system with a contra flow for public transport. In order to improve the performance of signalized intersection, therefore, needs to be installed bus priority traffic signal control at signalized intersection. The aim of this research is to design demand responsive bus priority traffic signal control at signalized intersection to minimize vehicles delay and reduce the bus travel time. The extension and recall methods at Vehicle Actuated Traffic Signal Control have been developed and evaluated by using VISSIM microscopic simulation tool. The performance of these methods has been evaluated at mixed traffic conditions of developing country where the traffic is untidy, traffic streams consist of different types of vehicles with a wide variation in their static, dynamic and operating characteristics, and with a particularly high proportion of motorcycles. The simulation results show that performance of bus priority traffic signal control better than fixed time control in terms of vehicle delay and bus travel time.
