Artificial Intelligence Applications to Critical Transporation Issues.

摘要

The domain of artificial intelligence (AI) is wide. Originally AI was defined as the discipline of computers that show intelligent human behavior. Now AI also refers to computer systems that show complex behavior similar to living systems like swarms, ant colonies, microbiology, and neural systems. There is a distinction between strong AIcomputer functions that really have strong similarities with intelligent human reasoning and show some kind of self awarenessand weak AIcomputer applications that deal with limited application areas and contain some practical knowledge and seem to have some intelligent features, such as expert systems and heuristic search algorithms. The focus of engineering applications of AI such as the ones considered in this circular is more on weak AI. However, it should be noted that the boundaries between strong and weak AI are not sharp and often AI systems move from one type to the other.
