The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada manages public transit alongside roadway funding and planning, serving millions of residents and visitors. Last year, the RTC provided over 52 million passenger trips while seeking efficiency and safety improvements. AI technology is being explored for practical solutions, significantly aiding vehicle maintenance through real-time monitoring, which decreases breakdowns and repair costs. AI is also enhancing safety, as seen with an AI-driven gun detection system that analyzes live video feeds in transit facilities to identify threats.
One of the most impactful uses of AI has been in vehicle maintenance. Through real-time data, sensors, and machine learning, we monitor engine performance, brake wear, battery health, fluid levels, temperature, and more.
Technology is also transforming how we keep our transit system safe. With transit safety being a growing concern nationwide, the RTC has invested millions in enhanced security, including AI-driven solutions.
A prime example is our AI-driven gun detection system. Integrated with nearly 100 security cameras across RTC transit facilities, this technology scans live video feeds for firearms being brandished in a threatening way.
Exploring AI not for novelty's sake, but as a practical solution to help us solve real-world challenges - and it's already delivering results.
