Artificial Intelligence in Railway Systems
Artificial intelligence is changing the transport sector. From helping cars, trains, ships and airplanes to function autonomously, to making traffic flows smoother, it is already applied in numerous transport fields. Beyond making our lives easier, it can help to make all transport modes safer, cleaner, smarter and more efficient. Artificial intelligence-led autonomous transport could for instance help to reduce the human errors that are involved in many traffic accidents. However, with these opportunities come real challenges, including unintended consequences and misuses such as cyber-attacks and biased decisions about transport. There are also ramifications for employment and ethical questions regarding liability for the decisions taken by artificial intelligence in the place of humans. A to B Robotics has begun research to explore transportation systems interplay with Artificial Intelligence systems.
