As you are already aware Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the highways and transportation sector in many ways.  It is essential that individuals and organisations in the sector get up to speed with the technology

Therefore, we are excited to announce the launch of the new CIHT Learn e-learning course Introduction to AI in Transportation, designed to demistify AI, boost your knowledge, learn from real-world application and where appropriate how to unlock value from this technology.

To ensure the course delivers expert guidance we have developed it in partnership with Dr. Lalitha Krishnamoorthy, AI and Digital Lead at Stantec, and her colleagues.  Lalitha has a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, she is an author (“Open Source for Dummies”) and a renowned keynote speaker.  She is recognised as a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador and LinkedIn's Top Voice for Executive Management.  She is also the winner of the 2024 Women in AI Asia Pacific (APAC) for AI in Infrastructure.

The future of the transportation industry will be driven by the synergy of Data and AI. Data is becoming increasingly integral to our systems due to the advanced IoT sensors embedded in almost all vehicles and infrastructure. AI will harness this wealth of information digitally to enable smarter decision-making, optimize routes, and enhance safety. Together, they will revolutionize mobility by creating more efficient, adaptive, and sustainable transportation solutions, reshaping how we travel and connect
