How can AI benefit your organisation and your passengers?

Featuring 7 interactive sessions including a panel discussion with experts

In today’s fast-paced world, the public transport industry is evolving rapidly, and technology is playing a pivotal role in enhancing its efficiency, safety, and customer service.

This online course builds on a year-long research project on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mass Public Transport conducted at the UITP Asia-Pacific Centre for Transport Excellence in Singapore.

More than 100 experts from authorities, operators, industry providers and academics contributed to the research in providing insights on the future of AI in public transport and helping define key building blocks for the sector to successfully embark in their AI journey.

The extensive knowledge collated during the research together with experience from early AI adopters in public transport and beyond will be shared during the online training.
