Five innovations that will change New York
Some innovations under development will create a revolution on the streets of New York. Journalists techinsider identified five major projects that will affect the transport infrastructure of New York.
Innovation will help reduce traffic congestion, add space in crowded trains and make the city more pedestrian-friendly.
Self-driving machines
It is assumed that self-managed machines will reduce the number of accidents. A number of companies, like Tesla and Google, are already working on self-driving cars, which are likely to be available to the public in 2020.
According to the latest data from the New York police, 48 thousands of accidents occur in the city for the year, involving pedestrians, bicycles or other vehicles. When using a self-driving car, human errors will be excluded. The number of accidents is expected to decrease by 90%.
"Green" zone
Architects Perkins eastman offer to turn forty blocks in the Broadway area into a huge park area called the Green Line. It stretches from Columbus Circle to Union Square and allows pedestrians and cyclists to move quickly around the center of New York.
“Transport takes up too much space on city streets and unfairly exceeds the pedestrian area in size. More than a thousand people die from traffic accidents every year. We think it makes sense to find ways to privilege the pedestrian zone over the car zone,” said firm founder Jonathan Cohn.
The tunnel that connects the Central Station of New York and the Long Island Railway
The Metropolitan Transit Authority is building one of largest and most expensive transportation projects in the country: a tunnel that connects the Central Station of New York and the Long Island Railway.
Construction is scheduled for completion in December 2022. This will help New Yorkers save from 30 to 40 minutes on daily trips.
Cars, centipedes in the subway
The Metropolitan Transit Authority recently announced plans to install a train without doors between the cars in the subway. this innovation will free up to 20% more space for passengers.
The city hopes to experience such centipede wagons in 2020.
Redesign of Penn Station
Penn Station is planning to change beyond recognition. To do this, allocate 3 billion dollars. Renovation and renovation of the station must complete before the 2019 year.
