State transportation officials are gearing up to use artificial intelligence to monitor emerging traffic conditions in NoVa and Fredericksburg.

It has been estimated that 1.7 million people die from Tuberculosis (TB), and more than 10.4 million new cases are reported every year worldwide. The global'End TB' strategy aims to eliminate the disease by 2030. However, realizing this goal would be challenging if there were to be a gap in treatment adherence to prescribed medication. In the context of TB and HIV coinfection, non-adherence to the medication has been associated with the incidence of drug resistance, prolonged infection, unsuccessful treatments, and death. Africa experiences a severe shortage of healthcare workers, making delivering proper healthcare difficult.

Traffic wastes time and money almost everywhere on the planet, so congestion is the bogeyman many transportation planners hope to defeat. Attendees at the most-recent Transportation Techies Meetup – held at Mobility Lab in Arlington, Va., and focused on traffic solutions – got a taste of several early-stage tech/planning options. "Data and technology are becoming more and more crucial in planning for safer streets. This becomes even more important as autonomous vehicles begin to come online," said Paul Mackie, Mobility Lab's communications director. How are DOTs handling data for projects like AVs and Vision Zero?
