The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) has awarded Cleveland State University a $500,000 grant to study efficiency and the environmental impact of public transit. Professors Stephen Duffy, Nigamanth Sridhar and Nick Zingale will collaborate with researchers from Case Western Reserve University, via the Internet of Things Collaborative, to determine when rail maintenance is necessary, what amount of emissions buses are leaving, and how to improve passenger wait times.
The team will develop and deploy on-vehicle sensor system to make intelligent decisions on where to allocate funds and improve efficiency for GCRTA.
