On Artificial Intelligence Applications for Resilient Transport Infrastructure

Abstract: In recent decades, awareness of climate change challenges has grown across engineering disciplines, as has the interest of researchers and practitioners in incorporating AI technologies into engineering solutions. Little has been discussed about the potential of AI in supporting societies to meet climate change challenges. This paper focuses on the understanding of AI regarding the need for climate resilient transport infrastructure. A framework setting a pathway to achieve this is proposed. Preliminary findings show that research in AI is being extensively developed for specific transport issues, but as a broader consequence, these can potentially increase the resilience of transport infrastructure systems.
