Changing priority levels within a controllable transit system

A system for changing priority levels within a controllable transit system, comprising:

• a memory medium comprising instructions;
• a bus coupled to the memory medium;
• and
• a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to:
• compute an initial route for a vehicle within the controllable transit system, the route being based on a priority level of the vehicle, the priority level being based on a service class of the vehicle;
• receive a request to change the priority level;
• and
• change the priority level in response to the request.

A computer readable medium containing a program product for changing priority levels within a controllable transit system, the computer readable medium comprising program code for causing a computer to:

• compute an initial route for a vehicle within the controllable transit system, the route being based on a priority level of the vehicle, the priority level being based on a service class of the vehicle;
• receive a request to change the priority level;
• and
• change the priority level in response to the request.

A method for deploying a system for changing priority levels within a controllable transit system, comprising:

• providing a computer infrastructure being operable to:
• compute an initial route for a vehicle within the controllable transit system, the route being based on a priority level of the vehicle, the priority level being based on a service class of the vehicle;
• receive a request to change the priority level;
• and
• change the priority level in response to the request.
