Massachusetts transportation officials announced the winners of the state’s Real-Time Challenge. Developers were encouraged to create software applications and physical installations using a real-time feed for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus locations and arrival predictions. Currently feeds are available for five routes. Governor Deval Patrick announced the winners via prerecorded video at the March 24 event:
- Catch the Bus provides arrival predictions for iPhones and Android phones
- MBTA Count-down Clock,which can be installed in storefronts and other locations, shows countdown information on a clock face
Speaking at the MassDOT event, incoming MBTA general manager Richard Davey said that real-time data feeds will be available for all routes by the end of summer.
