Navigating the Future: AI Innovations for Intelligent Mobility in Smart Cities 2023-01-1901
As we stand on the evolution of a new era in urban development, the concept of smart cities emerges as an embodiment of innovation and progress. A smart city uses cutting-edge technologies to improve the quality, performance and interactivity of urban services, optimize resources, and foster sustainable and well-connected societies. A critical component within this paradigm is the domain of transportation, where the application of artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming how we navigate our cities. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive exploration of the evolving landscape of AI within the context of intelligent mobility and smart cities, with a specific focus on our contributions in this field. This investigation not only highlights the advances in this field but also focuses specifically on the significant contributions of Autonomous Mobility and Perception Lab (AMPL) to deploying AI in developing intelligent mobility solutions. As urban areas worldwide grapple with the complexities of growing populations and the increasing demand for efficient, sustainable transportation, the critical role of implementing smart city concepts, especially intelligent mobility systems, becomes evident. This exploration is not merely a review of our strides; it is a voyage into the future, showing how AI continues to reshape urban transportation within the smart city paradigm.
