Transit officials are planning to install computer screens at one Brooklyn
subway station showing where the next trains are on the L line.
New York City Transit officials say the screens that will be installed at the
Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues station will display a graphic representation of each
train. The data will be updated every 15 seconds.
One transit official says that if the technology works, more screens could be
installed in other stations along the L line.
The transit agency's technology projects director says the same information
could be displayed on the Internet to allow riders to quickly check the
locations of trains before entering subway stations.
The computer software estimates train movements based on a set schedule.
