Abstract

In modern transportation, technology continues to redefine what's possible. At the forefront of this revolution stands Al, a transformative force reshaping everything from logistics and safety to customer experience and efficiency. The robust growth of machine learning algorithms supported by various technologies like internet of things, robotic process automation, computer vision, natural language processing have enabled the growth of Al. In this paper, efforts are being made to explore some of the innovative Al technologies used in the transportation industry. The finding of this paper will not only increase the spate of utilization of artificial intelligence – enabled applications across the transportation industry but will also transform customer experience, introduce new tenses through which other stakeholders contribute to the growth and development of the transportation industry. To achieve this goal, this paper aims to explore existing areas of application of Al in the industry. Seven related keywords were used to carry out literature search across four (4) major databases, namely academia, google scholar, research gate and Scopus. Out of 1,694 articles accessed only 55 contained content relevant to this research. This study however, provided key overview of available literature on Al application in the transportation industry.
