A federal grant of $805,000 has been awarded to the Port Authority to explore AI technologies aimed at increasing the efficiency of commuter buses using the Xclusive Bus Lane to the Lincoln Tunnel. This funding will support ongoing studies that began in 2021, focusing on equipping buses with autonomous vehicle technology to optimize their operation. The goal is to enhance the throughput of buses during peak hours, potentially allowing for more buses to operate simultaneously.
The initiative includes live testing of automated vehicle technologies, which could lead to smoother traffic flow and improved safety for bus drivers. By implementing AI-driven features, buses could maintain closer distances and communicate with each other, thereby increasing the number of buses that can be accommodated in the lane. This project is part of a broader effort to modernize public transportation and prepare for future increases in ridership.
• Federal grant supports AI technology to improve bus lane efficiency.
• Testing aims to increase bus throughput during peak hours.
This technology enables vehicles to operate without human intervention, enhancing safety and efficiency.
These features allow vehicles to communicate and coordinate with each other for improved traffic management.
This technique involves vehicles traveling closely together while maintaining safe distances, optimizing road usage.
The Port Authority is responsible for managing transportation infrastructure and is exploring AI to enhance bus operations.
NJ Transit operates public transportation in New Jersey and is involved in testing autonomous technologies for buses.
