Artificial Intelligence to Drive Safer Highways Program - RTInsights

According to the FWHA, there is a need for early-stage research to support emerging advances in artificial intelligence to help solve complex issues in highway transportation. A new Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program aims to transform highways with artificial intelligence. Some of the areas where the technology is expected to play a future role include improved safety, environmental mapping, bridge capacity insights, and smart parking. The Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program is currently soliciting proposals up until December 5. It will then award contracts or engage in cooperative agreements.
