An Overview of Paradigm Shift Dynamics in Transportation: Use of Artificial Intelligence in Intelligent Transportation Systems in Türkiye

Abstract

Currently, technology-based methods are widely used in the solutions developed for smart cities and sustainable transportation. Owing to the rapid advances in technology, the traditional structure of transportation networks is undergoing a paradigm shift. Artificial Intelligence (AI), that has started to have disruptive effects in many sectors in the future, is expected to be one of the most influential factors in the paradigm shift in transportation. In this paper, the dynamics of the paradigmatic shift in transportation to promote sustainable transportation in Türkiye are evaluated through conducting a review of the existing literature. Scenarios exhibiting the use of disruptive and innovative technologies in transport systems, specifically, AI applications in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), are examined. Additionally, the economic, environmental, and social impacts of AI applications are discussed by emphasizing the need to identify priority areas for the effective use of AI in the field of intelligent transport. Thus, this paper, by summarizing the use of AI-based technologies for intelligent transport in Türkiye, contributes to the literature by providing an overview of the existing knowledge.
