contents This paper proposes a coordinated routing approach that investigates the use of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in dedicated bus lanes. The aim is to improve bus schedule adherence while enhancing the travel efficiency of CAVs during the transitional phase of mixed traffic environments. Our approach utilizes real-time traffic data to dynamically reroute CAVs in anticipation of congestion. By continuously monitoring traffic conditions on dedicated lanes and tracking the real-time positions of buses, the system adjusts CAV routes in advance to avoid potential interference with operating buses. This cooperation reduces CAV travel times and minimizes delays that impact transit services. The proposed strategy is validated using microscopic traffic simulations in SUMO. The results demonstrate significant improvements in both transit on-time performance and CAV travel efficiency across a range of traffic conditions.
