Tired of subway delays? The MTA wants to fix that by strapping Google smartphones to New York trains
88% Informative
A pilot program between the MTA and Google started in New York City last week .
The project involves retrofitting Google ’s Pixel smartphones to certain subway cars to collect sounds and other data.
The data is then analyzed to spot patterns that could indicate track defects before they become a problem.
The goal of the program is to figure out how to cut down on service disruptions.
New York Open Data shows there were delays on the A line in September, October, November and December .
But not all delays were caused by mechanical or track problems.
Factors like crew availability, people on the track and construction played a much bigger role in setbacks.
The TrackInspect program included an AI system based on Google ’s Gemini model.
