Abstract:

The Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is exploring the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology within the surface transportation sector. By working with universities, industry, and Government conducting cutting-edge research in these fields, FHWA ultimately seeks to make surface transportation safer and more efficient.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has a keen interest in developing technologies that promote traffic safety and improve efficiency. Those technologies include helping the transport of people or cargo to run more smoothly.
