New York, NY using digital twin technology to improve emergency response times

The NYC Fire Department is experimenting with digital twin technology in order to speed up emergency responses in traffic-congested areas. The yearlong project will create a digital twin of an FDNY district in West Harlem, and will allow researchers to assess why emergency response delays happen and simulate potential solutions before taking them onto actual streets. Ultimately the project hopes to provide real-time routing guidance to FDNY vehicles responding to medical emergencies.

New York, NY Street Deliveristas Hubs help growing ranks of app-based delivery workers

Local officials will use a $1 million federal grant on infrastructure for the city's 65,000 delivery workers. Street Deliveristas Hubs turn disused newsstands, outdoor dining spaces, and transit stops into shelter from the elements. Workers can rest, charge their e-bikes or phones, and check their apps without obstructing sidewalks or streets. This first-in-the-U.S. pilot uses feedback from delivery workers during site selection and hub design.

New York, NY Smart City Testbed supports pilots for technological solutions to urban challenges

The NYC Smart City Testbed partners city agencies with selected universities and innovators for real-world testing. Successful applicants receive assistance from city departments in areas from regulatory compliance through service delivery. The applicant-funded pilots last up to nine months with eight pilots planned each year. The initial cohort of Smart City Testbed pilots includes drone assessments of building energy efficiency and automated street activity monitoring.

New York, NY lays the groundwork for sustainable building design with the NYC Mass Timber Studio

Design and architecture teams with early-phase mass timber concepts are sought for the nine-month program. Each team receives ongoing guidance from WoodWorks and the city's Department of Buildings. These consultations range from life cycle assessments of building materials to cost-benefit analyses. Selected projects also receive $25,000 grants from the USDA Forest Service Wood Innovations Program to turn preliminary ideas into final designs.

New York, NY addresses increase in package thefts with LockerNYC parcel locker pilot

The city's Department of Transportation selected 15 sidewalk locations for the one-year pilot. The selection process considered theft data, available space, and population density. Each locker features LED lighting, security cameras, and other mechanisms for safe deliveries. Package recipients receive access codes from participating carriers. Local officials approved the pilot as it faces an estimated 90,000 lost or stolen packages daily.

New York, NY creates comprehensive view of local road use with trial of Viva's Near Miss sensors

The city's Department of Transportation manually gathers traffic counts at random intersections throughout the year. Viva's AI-powered technology replaces these counts at 12 intersections during the pilot. Near Miss discerns nine types of transportation including scooters, buses, and pedestrians. Real-time data on travel speed, near-miss events, and travel paths are sent to an internal dashboard. City officials will use Near Miss results when evaluating traffic safety and street design efforts.
