Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming transportation infrastructure, redefining how motorways are planned and operated worldwide. Intelligent motorways, equipped with AI systems, are not merely visions of a distant future but a reality in many parts of the world. In an article published in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, ...

The automobile is considered essential for transportation in most Western countries. Numerous studies indicate that driving ability declines as people age, especially after 80, leading to increased crash rates and poorer performance on driving tests. For many older adults, driving is a key enabler for maintaining an active, engaged, and ...

More than 26.4 million electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to be on the roads by 2030, according to the Edison Electric Institute. With the development of networking technology for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), there are opportunities for persistent and dangerous cyber-attacks. If these threats are not detected (especially ...

The concept of “smart cities” is an amalgamation of what was called intelligent, wired, cyber, networked, or digital cities. Smart cities can solve many challenges from global urban migration trends and aging populations to environmental degradation, climate change, and resource utilization. In a paper presented at the 2021 International Conference ...
