Introducing the CIHT Partner-Supported Technical Paper How AI and data analytics can solve current transport problems
Representatives from our Partner organisations and CIHT Technical Champions have formed three task and finish groups for 2023. Each group will develop and deliver a technical paper that will positively influence the sector and support the changes the sector needs to take to progress and develop.
