A number of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) products and approaches have used “machine learning” for decades. Building on this foundation, recent artificial intelligence (AI) products and increased availability of AI have increased use cases for AI in transportation.
This project was conducted to introduce ENTERPRISE members to AI and facilitate understanding about how AI is being (and may be) applied to transportation, as well as the potential uses, benefits, and challenges of AI. Specifically, this project:
- Documents example use cases of AI in transportation operations.
- Provides a definition and high-level context of AI compared to other solutions;
- Documents and synthesizes available national materials;
- Summarizes state-level AI policies to document themes and additional considerations;
- Identifies considerations for transportation agency practitioners interested in using AI in operations; and
- Documents example use cases of AI in transportation operations.
