Artificial Intelligence-Based Services for Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility

Join us for the Systems Council's first Virtual Systems Engineering and AI Technical Committee Talk featuring guest speaker Maria Pia Fanti! We will be diving deep into the world of Artificial Intelligence-based Services for Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility.

Title: Artificial Intelligence-Based Services for Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility

📅 Date: 9 September 2026

🕒 Time: 3:00 PM CET

Registration link coming soon!

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to significantly impact automation across a wide range of industries and domains. In urban areas, the number of Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Vehicles (CCAVs) is expected to steadily increase in the near future. As a result, mixed traffic scenarios—comprising both human-driven vehicles and CCAVs—are likely to become the norm in the coming years. Connected and automated vehicles can enhance overall traffic efficiency by preventing collisions, optimizing traffic flow, and enabling the development and deployment of innovative mobility services.

This talk will illustrate how AI techniques—such as Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)—can support the full integration of CCAVs into real-world traffic systems, for both passenger and freight
transportation. The ultimate goal is to deliver benefits to all citizens and generate positive societal impacts, including: i) safety (e.g., reducing road accidents caused by human error); ii) environmental sustainability (e.g., lowering emissions and congestion by smoothing traffic flow and minimizing unnecessary trips); iii) inclusiveness (e.g., ensuring accessible and equitable mobility for all users). The talk will also present recent case studies, implemented both in real-world settings and in simulation environments.
