We are living in the era of rapid technological advancements such as machine learning, cloud-computing, artificial intelligence, big data and others, which can greatly transform our future. How are these advanced technologies used in transportation to create smart Cyber-Physical-Social-Systems (CPSS) to improve safety and mobility of people and goods and how can we prevent cyberattacks? This presentation will focus on what CPSS are, the importance of integrating digital technology into existing infrastructure to support Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) operations, how quantum-enhanced algorithms can improve real-time incident detection accuracy, and how to increase the operational efficiency of freight movement through truck platooning.
