AI and Machine Learning for State Departments of Transportation
Driving automation is one of the most visible sectors in which Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (ML) are anticipated to have a transformational impact. Self-driving cars equipped with sensors and advanced AI/ML algorithms are already being tested throughout the United States and the world for autonomously navigating and making real-time decisions on the road.
Implementing and Leveraging Machine Learning at State Departments of Transportation (NCHRP Web-Only Document 404), from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, is designed to advance the understanding and use of ML tools and techniques at state departments of transportation and other transportation agencies.
