Smarter Transportation Analytics
We shall present an overview of the work that IBM Research is performing in the lab and around the world to make transportation systems smarter and more efficient. We discuss our areas of focus, provide a brief overview of the methods we employ, and discuss a handful of client projects as well as some results obtained. We conclude with our vision of what is still needed today in the domain of smarter transportation systems and where universities and companies can join forces to achieve the vision.
