Operating model
How TSP works
The approved explanation should connect physical systems, communications, data, security, and operating responsibility.
Transit Signal Priority uses vehicle location, schedule, passenger, or request data to adjust signal timing for eligible transit vehicles. Connected implementations exchange priority requests and status with roadside or central systems. TSP generally modifies normal signal operation rather than interrupting it, distinguishing it from emergency preemption.

ETSI TS 103 301
ETSI TS 103 301 defines infrastructure-originated C-ITS messages including signal, map, and request/status exchanges. It matters to V2X because it gives independently developed systems a common technical contract.
