Better Connections The new system also connects data from all 50 states. This helps safety officials quickly spot dangerous drivers or trucking companies and keep them off the road.
The Big Picture By using this new technology, the USDOT aims to save time, save money, and make the countryâs transportation system safer and more responsive for everyone.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is teaming up with Salesforce to use advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make travel safer and more efficient.
Why They Are Doing This The USDOT helps manage airplanes, trains, and highways, but their old computer systems were slow and disconnected. They are updating their technology to work faster and smarter.
How the AI Will Help The department will use âAI Agentsâ (smart computer programs) to help with several important jobs:
24/7 Support: The AI can answer questions and handle complaints from the public at any time, day or night.
Safety First: It will analyze data on weather and traffic to spot dangers early and suggest ways to prevent accidents.
Faster Funding: The AI will review applications for money (grants) to fix roads and bridges, helping get projects started sooner.
