Background

While autonomous vehicles get the most media attention in the transportation sector, AI is addressing problems like traffic congestion, accidents, delays, and passenger safety. In fact, many areas of the transportation sector, such as ride share platforms, already use AI.

This sprint will identify technologies specific to road transportation that deliver novel approaches and methods to improve critical areas including:

• Road traffic management;
• Optimization of public transportation wait times, routes, and arrival times;
• Parking facilitation;
• Reduction of fuel consumption;
• Improvement of air quality; and/or
• Improvement of driver and rider safety.

On behalf of our corporate clients, TechConnect Ventures seeks innovations in data acquisition, data enrichment and augmentation, and machine learning algorithms with application to road transportation. We welcome submissions and novel concepts from individuals and organizations at all technology readiness levels (TRLs), including the academia, research, commercial and government sectors.
