AET Transport & Mobility Forum - FREE Webinar Thursday 2nd May
AI is the current zeitgeist in transport planning and many other industries, but several of the techniques that utilise AI or ML (machine learning) are well-developed and used in many applications already.
This webinar will share how AI is being combined with access to large datasets and the automation of standardised processes to derive insights in transport planning or speed up modelling processes that used to require manual effort.
This will include how AI is being used to better estimate land use to a fine granular level, how ML is being used to predict short-term traffic patterns, and how large language models can help open up complex tools to improve usability. We will also reflect on both the positives and negatives that AI advances can bring to transport planning and discuss how AI might influence our work in the coming years.
