The transportation and mobility industries are on the cusp of a major revolution. Applications such as autonomous vehicles, dynamic, demand-led real-time traffic management using ‘vehicle to anything’ (V2X) technology and high-resolution video/CCTV linked to AI systems to improve compliance, safety and convenience via smart transportation infrastructure have all been spoken about for many years. Initially these were in the realm of science fiction, then discussed as conceptual ‘art of the possible’ technology topics, and now, finally, as realistic aspirations to be implemented in the near future.
