Chair: Magid ELABYAD, Senior Vice President, IRF Global
Room: South Hall 3C, 3rd floor
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data are at the forefront of a transformational shift in the way transportation agencies conceptualize, plan, and implement essential road services. Powered by Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, these emerging technologies are supplanting decades-old, rigid methodologies based on limited variables and inflexible formulas. Unlike these traditional approaches, AI-driven methods offer the flexibility to continuously adapt, providing ever-improving solutions as they process increasingly vast and complex sets of data.
This session aimed to equip road agencies with foundational knowledge in AI and Big Data, by delving into both theoretical frameworks and practical applications for mining road asset and traffic data. It focused on leveraging this invaluable information to make informed decisions in the realms of predictive road maintenance and enhanced safety management.
Participants left the session with a nuanced understanding of current capabilities, as well as a forward-looking perspective on upcoming advancements. Most importantly, attendees will be wellpositioned to spearhead or contribute to initiatives that utilize AI and Big Data for the creation of safer and more efficient road systems.
