UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF
His Royal Highness
Prince Saud Bin Nayef Bin Abdulaziz
Governor of the Eastern Region
Forum Overview
based on the Saudi Society for Traffic Safety participate in the activation of initiatives to improve the elements of traffic safety and the transport system, and working side by side with all traffic authorities to enhance road safety, and work to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and disabilities resulting from traffic accidents, the following title was chosen: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BIG DATA FOR TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC SAFETY
The United Nations report indicates that the number of road accident deaths exceeds 3,500 people per day around the world. It is likely that if practical and more comprehensive measures are not taken, the number of deaths and injuries will increase dramatically. Therefore, one of the initiatives of the National Transformation Program 2023 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is based on reducing the number of deaths and injuries resulting from road accidents by 50%, and the Saudi Vision 2030 adopted additional measures to ensure traffic safety, reduce road accidents and their effects. Therefore, the concerned authorities, such as the Ministry of Interior, Transport, regional municipalities, and education, have prepared strategic goals related to Saudi Vision 2030, most notably reducing transport accident rates, reducing accident mortality and the severe injuries . Surface transportation seems to be on the cusp of a new era of smart mobility. The increasing popularity of smart cities and recent developments in sensing, edge computing and vehicle technologies and the availability of “big data” combined with sophisticated AI techniques offer an opportunity to substantially advance and transform the transportation sector and road safety. AI and Big data apply modern technologies on vehicles, highways, and road networks for traffic surveillance, data collection, control, and modelling of traffic movements in real-time and in forecasts aiming to reduce congestion, fatalities, injuries due to traffic accidents, and crashes detection or prediction. In addition, AI and Big data helps in the discovery of contributing factors to crashes, driving behaviour analysis, crash hotspot identification, optimizing transportation infrastructure utilization, reducing the cost of transportation, diagnosing and remedying the problems, which the traditional safety analytics cannot solve, and enhancing overall safety of the system.
