Jumbi Edulbehram, Global Business Development, Smart Cities and Spaces at NVIDIA, presented Advancing Intelligent Transportation Systems with AI at the Institute of Transportation Studies Transportation Seminar on Friday, April 24, 2026.
Abstract: Advances in AI are reshaping the future of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), enabling unprecedented levels of efficiency, safety, and adaptability in traffic and transportation. This talk explores how physical and agentic AI are transforming the way transportation systems are modeled, monitored, and managed. We will examine emerging capabilities such as real-time traffic prediction, automated incident detection, and adaptive signal control, as well as the foundational data and compute infrastructures that make them possible. Emphasis will be placed on translating new AI tools into scalable, trustworthy applications for cities, highways, and transit systems. We’ll highlight relevant case studies demonstrating innovation at the intersection of AI, mobility, and urban systems.
