Signaling
How can we modernize the subway signaling system faster and at lower cost?
MTA subways are controlled by an aging signaling system.
By digitizing this signaling system, the MTA can safely and reliably run more subways cars more closely together, increasing capacity and making travel more enjoyable.
This challenge called for technology to implement a more efficient, reliable subway signaling system quickly and cost-effectively.
