Abstract

On August 14, 2003, New York City, along with a large portion of the Eastern United States, experienced a massive power failure caused by an overloaded grid in Ohio. NYCDOT faced the difficult task of ensuring that traffic signal operations and coordination plans were in full working order for the Monday morning rush hour.
