The Balkan region is witnessing a rapid uptake in next-generation road charging programs, such as free-flow tolling for Heavy Goods Vehicles. The technologies supporting road charging systems have made tremendous progress over the past decade, and today developing and implementing a local or national solution presents fewer risks than was the case 10-15 years ago.
This course will introduce fundamentals of AI to non-AI specialists, examine eight case studies involving the application of AI to road safety, and examine eight case studies involving the application of AI to broader traffic engineering problems. Participants will emerge with a better understanding of what is possible, and be better equipped to initiate and work on AI applications in traffic safety.
Road safety audit and inspections serve the common purpose of identifying risk factors related to road design or traffic control that may lead to crashes, or make crashes more severe. In many cases, they also assist network highway operators and city traffic departments in identifying engineering weaknesses and hazardous locations, even in the absence of robust traffic injury data.
