Research Advances Energy Efficiency, Safety And Performance Of Public Transit

Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Integrated Manufacturing Studies (CIMS) and the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA) are collaborating on a joint research project designed to implement state-of-the-art vehicle monitoring technology into public transit fleets. The monitoring system will assist the fleet in increasing energy efficiency, improving vehicle performance and increasing overall safety. Ultimately, the project will also assist the authority in testing the effectiveness of alternative fuel use in its bus fleet.
