Intelligent Mobility: public bus automatically detects, reports damaged signals, signs and other maintenance issues to RTC team

An RTC bus traveling the Virginia Street corridor has been installed with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence (AI). These sensors allow the bus to monitor the traffic infrastructure around it and use AI to detect problems. If a problem or damage is detected, an automatic notification is sent to the RTC’s maintenance team. RTC has highlighted this new technology and its collaboration with the University in a recent segment of their Road Ahead series. The Digital Twin project is part of Intelligent Mobility, a multidisciplinary research initiative coordinated through the Nevada Center for Applied Research (NCAR).
