Artificial Intelligence Policies to Enhance Urban Mobility in Southeast Asia

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool for technological progress with profound impacts on governments, industries, universities, and societies. In Southeast Asia, AI has presented both opportunities and challenges. Local governments are increasingly experimenting and piloting AI technology to create smart, sustainable, and inclusive cities. Nevertheless, the adoption of artificial intelligence in cities requires proper planning, management, and implementation. Consequently, there is a need for a concerted effort to establish collaboration between industries, governments, academics, and societies in Southeast Asia. This policy brief aims to provide an overview of how artificial intelligence can be implemented to enhance urban mobility in Southeast Asia. To maximize the relevance of the policy brief, experts from various fields have been consulted in its preparation.

The Role of Information Technology in Sustainable Urban Mobility Development

“…Group 09 -Arti cial Intelligence encompasses studies that explore the application of AI in sustainable mobility management processes [221][222][223][224][225][226][227], including data mining for decision support [226,227], and decentralized intelligence in data fog on vehicle interconnection networks [228,229]. On the other hand, Group 10 -Smart Cities, is the group with the largest number of related studies, but most broadly address aspects of Smart Cities, with partial emphasis on mobility.…”

Interoperability for intelligent traffic management systems in smart cities

“…challenges [5]. The use of standardized frameworks is crucial for achieving true smart cities, and open standards are necessary for establishing an integrated ecosystem [6], [7]. Information gathering, processing, and service delivery form the three phases of data management in a traffic management system [8].…”
