How it works Net Zero through Emerging Technologies
Historical Perspective • Available for 20+ years • Cost prohibitive • Difficult to maintain • About half shut down Net Zero through Emerging Technologies
Example Deployment • 2.5 mile, 4 lanes, 12 signals • 26,000 vpd • Annual savings • 95,000 hrs travel time • 34,000 gal fuel • 9,000,000 stops • $2.5 million economic benefit • Tech cost vs. construction cost Net Zero through Emerging Technologies
Benefits • Long term optimization/results • Waste reduced (time, fuel, emissions) • Sustainability (move more cars on the same pavement) Net Zero through Emerging Technologies
