“Accurate real-time location data is essential to the effectiveness of our transit signal priority platform. Working with Hayden AI will open up even greater efficiency improvements for our transit agency customers,” added Tim Menard, CEO and founder of Lyt.

Transit reliability

Both companies report a track record of delivering transit reliability and safety improvements in cities across the US. In New York City, where Hayden AI technology is installed on Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses, it claims, transit speeds have increased by as much as 36 per cent on certain routes and vehicle collisions have decreased by 20 per cent on average on streets with transit routes using this technology.

In Portland, Oregon, TriMet’s FX2 Route experienced a 70 per cent reduction in signal delay and a 13.2 per cent savings on fuel costs when using Lyt.transit.
