Comprehensive Review of Emerging Technologies for Congestion Reduction and Safety

The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) funded a project executed by a team from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to perform a comprehensive scan of emerging technologies that could affect transportation in the New York City metropolitan region in the next 20 years. A primary goal of the technology scan is to develop a document that serves as a one-stop shop for emerging technology that may be considered for implementation by different transportation agencies in the NYMTC region. This paper briefly presents the different emerging technologies, their characteristics, and important results from the project pertaining to congestion reduction and safety objectives.
