AI, digitalization, and advanced automation are separate but closely connected technological fields. Get inspired by Transforming Transportation: Leveraging the Power of Artificial Intelligence, Digitalization, and Automation from TRB's Executive Committee.

Highway professionals face challenges that others may have already tackled.

Employees of state departments of transportation, AASHTO staff on behalf of AASHTO committees or councils, and employees of the Federal Highway Administration can submit their problem statements for possible future NCHRP synthesis projects by June 15.
