Exploring the Use of Artificial Intelligence to Leverage TxDOT's Data for Enhanced Corridor Management and Operations
This project will develop a thorough understanding of the concrete and tangible benefits that artificial intelligence (AI) may offer to Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) when considering the vast volumes of data currently collected and will explore emerging planning and operations applications. A twofold research approach will provide both a broad, high-level summary of the state of the art/practice in AI and its relevance to the TxDOT, and an in-depth analysis of one or two selected applications. The review of the state of the art will include a literature and data survey and creation of a prospectus summarizing the techniques and tools relevant to TxDOT given data availability and planning/operation priorities. For the use cases, Researchers will consider applications involving system performance estimation and system control using Markov and non-Markov decision processes. After completing a preliminary research phase, Researchers will host a workshop for TxDOT and its partners to demonstrate the explored concepts and collect feedback to inform the model application and testing. Project deliverables will include a comprehensive report, including a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the selected use cases, and access to the datasets and code-base used in this project.
