The 50 greatest innovations of 2024
An NYU Tandon project that is helping the New York City Fire Department cut medical emergency response times has been named one of 2024's top innovations. Led by a team from C2SMARTER — a Tier 1 U.S. Department of Transportation-funded University Transportation Center - the project's "Traffic Digital Twin" creates real-time virtual replicas of city infrastructure. The AI-powered platform allows researchers to analyze traffic patterns, unearthing data that can ensure FDNY ambulances travel the fastest, safest routes during emergencies.
