The New York City Subway Is Using Google Pixels to Listen for Track Defects

87% Informative
Six Google Pixel smartphones hitched free rides on four New York City subway cars.
The phones were part of a brief experiment by the MTA and Google .
The MTA hopes to create a “modernized” system that automatically identifies and organizes fixes for track issues.
Eventually, the tech could become “a way we could minimize the amount of work that’s done to identify those defects,” says Demetrius Crichlow .
TrackInspect combined 335 million sensor readings and 1,200 hours of audio with New York City Transit’s database of track defects.
Google hopes the project will become a “catalyst for ushering in more cost-effective and preventive ways to support railway safety.
