SYSTEMS will launch an innovation centre later this year with the mission of determining how emerging technologies can solve challenges in public transit. The centre will initially conduct research on improving transit agencies’ financial sustainability through the application of Artificial Intelligence( AI) and Machine Learning( ML) in a joint effort with academic experts from Imperial College London through Imperial consultants. While the collaboration and research begin immediately, the immersive centre will open in September 2025.
The centre will build upon Cubic’ s legacy of innovation and technical excellence in transit. It will provide public and private sector thought leaders with a seminar space to present the latest research, demonstrate new technology and discuss emerging strategies for addressing transportation’ s most critical challenges, including fare evasion, meeting net zero commitments and accessibility. It will also feature a customer experience area with a‘ tube station of the future’ – including customisable devices and digital walls for immersive demonstrations.
