AI Opportunities for State and Local DOTs

Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen enormous growth in the last decade, resulting in research and development in numerous fields, including in AI applications at departments of transportation (DOTs). The use of AI has accelerated due to success in four key areas: development of advanced machine learning algorithms, high-performance computing, availability of low-cost, high-performance sensors, and availability of large-scale data. The adaptation and application of AI can provide public benefits to transportation in many ways.
