The use of artificial intelligence within the design of automobile roads

The paper considers contemporary trends in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in road design. These include the automation of design processes, engineering data processing, and traffic flow modelling to improve the efficiency of road transport infrastructure. The authors provide an overview of the current state and trends in AI development in the road industry, using examples of practices implemented in the Russian Federation. The authors pay particular attention to the introduction of ‘digital twin’ systems that ensure the comprehensive integration of AI into modelling, and management decision-making processes. The authors note the limitations associated with the presentation of large amounts of reliable information, the complexity of adapting algorithms to the regulatory framework, and the need for expert evaluation of the results. Prospects for the development of such technologies in the context of sustainable development in the road industry.
