The Role of AI in Transportation Safety Improvements in 2023

AI is changing the transportation industry in many ways, and safety is one of the main areas that will benefit from this. AI isn’t just being used to check on vehicles. It’s also being used to improve safety in a lot of different ways all over the world. As the CEO of UVeye, I have seen how AI has improved the safety of vehicles. Recently, a retailer told us that during a free car wash, they saw two bulges in each of a customer’s tires.

This is just one example of how AI has the ability to make roads safer and cut down on deaths. It’s interesting to see how AI is being used in different ways to make transportation safer around the world.

AI in Transportation Safety Improvements

AI is used in the transportation industry to help with things like fleet integration and management. This helps companies like Geotab and Azuga. Geotab uses AI to keep an eye on the state of vehicles, spot possible problems, and find the best ways to make things more efficient and safe. Through Geotab’s AI-powered fleet management system, fleet managers are told about engine problems, tire problems, and engine trouble codes. This trait makes it less likely that there will be an accident or breakdown. The AI-based driver behavior tracking system from Azuga gives drivers real-time feedback on how they drive, which reduces the chance of accidents and makes the roads safer.

Intelligent traffic management systems (ITMS)

Intelligent traffic management systems (ITMS) are another way that AI is making transportation safer. Yunex Traffic is one of the stars in the business world when it comes to using ITMS to make roads safer. ITMS uses real-time data to keep track of traffic conditions, predict traffic jams, and improve traffic flow. This technology makes it easier to handle traffic, makes crashes less likely, and makes travel safer generally. Yunex’s technology can even tell when a car is going the wrong way and turn on warning signs or traffic lights to stop accidents. It’s amazing to see how these new ideas are really making a difference by making accidents and breakdowns less likely.

Advanced Driver-Assistance Features (ADAS)

AI is also a big part of technologies that help drivers, like lane departure alerts, adaptive speed control, and automatic emergency stopping. Companies like Tesla and Waymo are leading the way in this area by using AI to make driving safer and stop crashes. Once, Tesla’s Autopilot system had cameras, radar, and acoustic devices that could see and hear nearby cars and objects. Still, it has since taken out a lot of these parts so that it can focus mostly on its Autopilot system, which is based on cameras. Not a Tesla App says that since radar was taken out of its cars, Tesla has made big changes to its software to make its advanced driver-assistance features (ADAS) work better.

AI is also changing the way vehicles are inspected, where the old ways were labor-intensive, took a long time, and left room for mistakes. Vehicles can now be checked by AI-powered inspection systems in seconds, with a level of accuracy and precision that was once impossible with human checks.

A lot of companies, including ours, are starting to see how AI can help with car checks. It’s exciting to think about all the ways AI could improve transportation, from making it safer to reducing the amount of work and time needed. AI is just starting to be used in the transportation industry, but it has a lot of promise.
