The intersection of Big Data and AI in mobility
As we stride into the era of smart cities, data is the new oil, powering unprecedented transformations in our transport systems. With the surge of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), we’re not just enhancing mobility but revolutionising it.
From predicting traffic patterns and optimising routes to improving safety measures and sustainability practices, AI and machine learning are taking the wheel. Yet, navigating this data-driven landscape comes with its own challenges – data management, privacy concerns, ethical considerations, to name a few.
At VTM, we’re passionately involved in harnessing the potential of Big Data and AI to shape the future of mobility, while responsibly addressing the hurdles that come along.
