FCAI and The Traffic Research Unit (TRU, cognitive science, University of Helsinki) would like to welcome you to join our “AI and Traffic” themed even on the 4th of September, from 3pm to 6pm. The event will focus on a multidisciplinary perspective on the AI trajectories in traffic in the future. The aims will be to find promising research questions in the field of smart traffic technologies, to posit fruitful research problems as well as to take a broader societal perspective to traffic. We hope the event will be great opportunity for inter-disciplinary dialogue and networking.

The event is primarily directed at traffic, traffic design and safety, autonomous vehicle, traffic infrastructure and traffic education researchers, and other researchers interseted in these fields.
