Call for Papers: Special Issue on International Cooperation in AI for Transportation

The Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives journal has announced a special issue dedicated to exploring international cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI) for transportation. This issue will examine challenges inherent in cross-border collaboration, highlight successful models, and identify opportunities to leverage AI’s full potential in transportation systems.

Researchers and experts are invited to contribute original papers that address various aspects of AI collaboration in transportation, including case studies and promising models of international cooperation. Contributions from fields outside of transportation are also welcome, provided they discuss implications for transportation.

Key Topics Include:
• Benefits, opportunities, and motivations for international AI collaboration in transportation research.
• Barriers and challenges to cross-border AI cooperation.
• Current state of international collaboration on AI in transportation.
• Case studies on AI-driven transportation solutions across multiple policy jurisdictions.

Potential Research Areas:
• Ethical considerations in AI, including privacy and safety.
• Democratization of AI and equitable access.
• Trust in AI across different sectors and cultures.
• Intellectual property and regulatory compliance challenges.
• Case studies on AI applications in mobility, freight, and traffic management.
• AI-driven solutions for multi-modal transportation optimization.
• AI’s role in advancing the green economy.
• Public sector competencies for AI integration in transportation policy and practice.
