By
Jose Martinez
Summary
The MTA is seeking a technology provider to develop and test an AI-powered track intrusion detection system for New York City's subway. The system aims to detect when people, objects, or animals enter the tracks, which caused 6% of all subway delays last year. The prototype will be tested at both an underground station and an elevated stop under real-world conditions, though specific locations have not yet been determined.
